Work today isn't bad. The first days of summer will be great though......when you are stuck in school making up snow day.

No snow, no ice.....beautiful sunny california day, except you can't go out and enjoy it because of the 80 mph gust from the Santa Ana winds.

Trucks blown over, power poles and trees snapped. Just replaced over 85 feet of fence from the last winds. Praying this one stands.

Six inches of snow...No school but the funny thing is our school system is closed today thru Monday anyway!

Most school systems in TN have 13 (may vary in some school systems) snow days or emergency days built in.

Because of block scheduling, we go to school 30 extra minutes a day. Multiply that 30 minutes by the 180 school days and you end up with 13 extra days attended.

The problem most teachers have is that we technically work the snow days not used without any pay. So, like last year where we only used 2 days, I worked the equivalent of 11 days without pay. Only the government could come up with such a wonderful plan.

Only a Math teacher could figure that out too! :lol:

We haven't had any real snow here since 1989. We get to close due to "mud" days.
