Wait for it... wait for it... wait for it..... CLOSE EVERYTHING!!!

Live in Belgrade, Serbia, snow's never too bad around here, though I don't think it's much less than in some countries that still freak out over it (I'm looking at you, you silly British peoples!). Pretty much nothing ever gets closed down, you can never really use an excuse of "too snowy to go to school/work/etc." or anything like that.

Im near Toronto Canada, last year, we didnt have a single snow day. Which sucks. This year, in the past 2 weeks, we've missed a total of 5 days of school.

Today was a snow day actually.

Really? In Waterloo neither high school or elementary schools have been closed to my knowledge.
The university never closes.

Keyword in this situation is near
Technically part of simcoe/ muskoka area

So snow belt then? That would make more sense. I thought you meant Mississauga.

I want to go to Playdium now. Thanks.
But yes Snow Belt.

I still have 55 points left from Escapism: Toronto

Hello dear Escapist, a little background information 1st. Live in the southern united states, just north enough to get snow/sleet, but just south enough for the shcool board to *Pun not intended* freeze up when it does finally hit. Today, December 17, we had less than an inch of solid snowfall. The school system shut down all schools in about 10 counties.

So here is the question, my friends, how do those in positions of authority near you react to snow? Do you live in an area where you never recieve it and dont have to worry about it? Do you live where snow is a constant, something that simply becomes part of the norm? Do you live where any amount of snow causes almost complete sociotal breakdown? Share with us your tales of intrest!

EDIT: Huh, didn't know there were so many N.C. member around here.

I live in England where the authorities curl up into a ball and cry whenever snow arrives.

heh yeah i'm in TN, we had our first snow of the year Monday and the first day of finals week was canceled because of it...all half inch of it, so...yeah lol

oh and i'm from western NY originally so i find it absolutely hilarious

I think we go to the same school, savage. I've actually seen this place shut down for less, including one time we closed in anticipation of snow that never arrived. Fun times.

I'm also from Maryland, and drivers from both states proceed to freak the hell out when the snow starts to fall.

ETSU by any chance? if so then i remember the time you're talking about...spring semester right? lol
