OH ♥♥♥♥ ITS A BLIZZARD CLOSE ALL THE THINGS

Or at least, that's how things work where I live.

Blizzard?

The only time my district closed for temperature alone (while I was alive, at least) was when it was -40, and even then, that was only when it was halfway through the day and parents had been complaining for a few hours.

In Georgia, it's more like "2 inches of snow? HOLY ♥♥♥♥, WE'RE ALL ♥♥♥♥. CLOSE DOWN THE AIRPORTS, SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, AND WHATEVER ELSE IS VITAL. NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE."

I ♥♥♥♥ hate our district. If we get ridiculous amounts of snow, EVERY district surrounding us gets cancelled but we don't. It's just lame. And then you have to stand at your bus stop for tens of minutes longer than you normally do if you can't get a ride, and then everybody is half an hour late to school.

What's that? You Americans don't go to school when there's too much snow?
Weirdos. It's just our normal winter day that the bus is half an hour late.

And I thought Finland was famous for its rally drivers.

What do you consider "really, really slow"?

Yeah, we get winds, too. I live in an urban area (Edmonton), so the wind gets broken by the buildings, but if you were to venture a little out of the city, it would be a lot worse. I think the lowest temperature in recent memory here was -50 degrees Celcius, although that was with wind chill. -40 isn't out of the ordinary, though.

Also, fun fact: schools aren't allowed to close for snow days here, because of concerns that somebody may get confused and come to school only to find that it's closed, then freeze to death. In my entire school career, I had a single "snow day", and that was really only because the power went out. It just happened to be snowing heavily at the time. Of course, we had gone to school anyway, so we had the pleasure of walking through knee-deep snow in a blizzard for 20 minutes back from the school.

Canada sounds so cool.

Wait, why did you go to school if it was closed?

Like I said, it wasn't closed. The schools never close for snow, and the power outage was only local to my school's area. They didn't actually announce that it was closed until we got there.

Well ♥♥♥♥ snow and cold weather, I'm moving to somewhere warm as soon as I can.

This one is awesome.

Here it barely ever snows. It's more common that rivers will get much more water and begin flooding everything.

i have seen snow twice in my life, both times when i went to the grand canyon. it might have been 1.5 inch thick, at the thickest.
