    Austin, how was your vacation ? The weather has been crazy here. Last week it reached a high of 61 degrees and was in the 50's for the most part. The week before we had the Artic temps with it only getting to a high of 23 all week. Tonight there is a chance of a dusting of snow. Saturday and today are cold and windy. Later in the week it is supposed to warm up to the 50's again. Global warming is here to stay.

    We got an inch of snow in two hours yesterday. It's been above freezing all day. Supposed to be in the fifties tomorrow. Then another temperature drop. I understand that Mother Nature likes variety, but this "all four seasons in one week" stuff has got to go!

    It's cloudy & rainy here in Southwestern North Carolina. And the rain is making my arthritis act up.

    It was short, but very nice! Got some sun, shopped a bit, lounged around a lot, and ate out about every night! It was much needed, and really was a nice getaway.

    We had another round of icing and sleet overnight. Another day of school missed here and surrounding area in the boondocks of Missouri! That makes 17 days missed since January 1st! Never heard of that here before and I'm 62 years old! We've always had snow and ice but not constantly every day! It rained most of the day yesterday which was helping to melt the ice off and then it got cold enough last night to turn it back to ice! And, we will probably miss again tomorrow because the low tonight is to be 17*! No way for the roads to get any better until it warms up, which it is supposed to get to 44* later tomorrow!

    Mother Nature has lost her marbles here! It's crazy!

    Austin, your vacation sounds heavenly!

    Brooke, do the kiddos there have to make up all the bad weather days? In my kids school district in Texas if school was out for bad weather, which is very few if any, they had to make up the days missed. Which usually meant the last day of school was extended into summer vacation until all days were made up. Just curious if other states/schools did this?

    Hi ETG ! Here in NJ/NY metro area if kids miss school due to bad weather they can take it from their Easter vacation/spring break or add days on at the end of the year. One year my poor nephew went until June 30th, which is the last day they can extend the school year. Yesterday we had a mix of snow, sleet and rain. I got one inch of snow. Today will be in the 40's but feel colder due to the windchill factor.

    Yes they will have to make up at least 10 days. There is talk that they will be forgiven for the rest, but I'm not betting on it. They will find out tomorrow how many and what the makeup days will be. In the past they used holidays like MLK day, Presidents Day and Easter break but they are talking about just adding to the end because they were going to get out so early (May 10th) this year anyway.

    Hopefully the county roads are thawing today so they will be back to school tomorrow. Our main problem is the ice packed county roads that the busses can't get around on. Hey, it's made it over freezing! 37*!!!! Heatwave!
