shoulda been a snow day

Geneva closed...Chardon closed...Ledgemont closed...Madison did not.
So off to school we go...in the cold...and snow-packed roads...with no radio {When it gets really cold, the radio in my Yukon doesn't work.  When the car gets warmed up, it just starts, but in my eight minute trip to school, it doesn't usually get warm enough.}  Today was ' no radio' cold.  And much more snowy than yesterday.  Grace and I slip slided to school, glad we didn't have go in a bus!  There were late buses and stories of treacherous trips.  Then it really started to snow.  And snow.  And snow.  It looked so pretty, all white and winter-wonderlandy.
It all caused the buses to be late.  We sat in our classrooms for ten minutes or so before we dismissed the kids.  And I had bus duty.  Which we did from inside the building.  While we were standing there talking about drives home, someone asked Polzer how far he had to go.  I said, "is it all of 6 minutes?"  He held up 8 fingers..."hey, that's how long it takes me.  But next year I'm cutting that by 4 minutes."
Julie chimes in, "Are you moving?"
We all just look at her.  In silence.
Finally Polzer says, "We all are."  
That's how crazy the day was...
