Every snowy high school morning, watching the school closures list

I remember those days.
Of course I remember the days when they close every school around yours and you still have to go. In which case I react with this about the other schools: http://i.imgur.com/LUyjS.gif

My high school absolutely would never close unless every other school around me closed. there was always some rebelious bunch of dicks who kept me in class even with snow up to my waist :(

Same. I went to a private school, so they made their decisions based on whether 2/3 major districts in the area closed (because of busing issues etc.). 1 of those districts would close all the time, but the other two were huge suburbia rivals basically, and never fucking closed. And, I grew up in Syracuse, so we never shut down because of snow anyways since everyone was so used to it. Fucking snow days.

Oswego was worse... trust me.
1
Yup, it was. Fuck Oswego.

Every single school around us would be closed, and we (the kids from all around the major city who drove from 20-60 minutes to get to school each day) would still have to come in. So glad I don't have to deal with that shit anymore.

My university did this. The other schools in our city were closed (including another university that's a 10 minute walk down the street) yet ours remained open. That being said, many classes were cancelled.

I never had an official snowday and I live in Canada.

It's a point of pride for us Canucks.

That's the Vancouver Canucks - I'm far away from the riots.
In Montreal (troll face).

I laugh when I see in the news that some city shut down after a tiny snowfall.

Me neither and I live in Florida. Go figure...

Play it in reverse and you'll have what it was like to watch it in my district.

I'm a teacher and I feel the same way on those mornings watching the news. However, I live in Alabama so it is usually a school closing for severe storms or tornadoes, in which case you pray it is a beautiful day and the school system is just being cautious.

Yeah, when there is a chance the storm will produce a tornado they will close/delay/ or have early release for the schools. A couple of schools have been hit by tornadoes here in Alabama and it is much better for a community to have the kids at home and off the roads instead of having all of the kids in one building.

The month of April we were out in Tuscaloosa one day every week, and it all built up to the April 27th Tornadoes.
My wife had been at the University in the basement every time there was a tornado warning, but on the 27th she decided she wanted to be at home in case something happened. I'm so glad she was home that day because cell phones were spotty after the storm, and you couldn't drive down our street because of downed trees and debris.

And there were always like 10 schools that were on the closed list for half of winter.

snow? what is snow?
2
SoCal here, never get to experience this.
2
The only thing we get to experience is earthquake drills and maybe a school closure if there's a wildfire nearby, and even that is rare.

I live in NYC so of course the news station shows a list of school closures from Long Island, upstate, NJ and CT and private schools in the city but never the public schools. Good times, lots of rages were had.
2
but yay we got one this year!! and it screwed seniors out of early graduation because they missed a regents!! yayyy!!!
2
I live in Minnesota, we didn't believe in school closing because of weather......ever.
2
I'm a teacher, and I still do this.
2
I work in I.T. at a university, snow days are still awesome.
1
My university makes employees come in even if the classes are cancelled.

HEY! I can't wait until I come up with a clever tagline so I can repost this gif for the hundredth time... maybe something like... "When I know I'm being a douchebag and shamelessly reposting, this is me before it eventually hits the front page"

You know how to cut to the core of me FSURob. You're so wise.

One year our high school closed down a ton due to snow and we went over the district's allotted snow days. We were forced to make a day of school up and we ended up having to go school on a perfectly beautiful spring day :(
