The snow day. A day coveted by students everywhere, but only experienced by a lucky few. A day when you are allowed to sleep in until noon and breakfast turns into lunch and when it is completely acceptable to watch movies all afternoon. A day when pajamas are the only uniform and hot chocolate with extra marsh mellows is the drink of choice. Ah, yes, it is good day.
But what happens when there are multiple snow days in a row? When so much school is missed that you are forced to extend the school year into late June? Is there such a thing as too many snow days?
I think we are in a week where this question will be asked by many a student and teacher in the Midwest. Is too much of a lazy thing ok?
I don't know, and frankly I am not terribly concerned at this point. All I know is that I have a cup of hot chocolate and The Newsies calling my name from the other room.

It's "marshmallow"
For a weather update from the Southwest: In Albuquerque last week, the schools only had one day of class. Tues/Wed: icy roads/snow. Thurs: they couldn't get the buses started. Fri: shortage of natural gas, state emergency--everything shut down to preserve gas! Nothing like midwest quantity of snow, but the cold created some havoc- non-insolated pipes= much burstage.
Anyhow, Hi from New Mexico!! :)
