Our home is our home wherever it is.<br />We will be moving back to Idaho when I am done here. The winters there get a lot of snow, but we will have the time and the money to enjoy it.Colin & Lori Croshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864660957854605185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-22414869973361222212010-02-09T21:21:34.167-07:002010-02-09T21:21:34.167-07:00Wow, while I was typing my response two other peop...Wow, while I was typing my response two other people commented...abbynormalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387625999075371677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-77991279341642160232010-02-09T21:15:15.020-07:002010-02-09T21:15:15.020-07:00That's the problem - when it's the excepti...That's the problem - when it's the exception, there is absolutely no way to possibly be amply prepared for it, so the entire area is completely crippled every time snow falls. <br /><br />3.5 days (and counting) of snow-induced government closure...and that doesn't include the weekend! I've never seen anything like it.<br /><br />...for the record, I ain't complaining.

I feel that with adequate ways to deal with it, the snow would not be quite so awful, but the schools have been closed since Jan 30 so now there is no spring break for the kids and extra days at the end of the (already into the middle of June) school year. Even my classes at JMU have been canceled so that I have to make up on days that I am already working 9 hours- so a full 12... and if it happens again, I will be teaching on Saturday. No fun. That being said, this is by far, the most snow I have ever, ever EVER seen in Virginia! It is insane. The drifts from the wind are at my waist in some places. <br /><br />When are you moving back to Idaho? Are the winters better there?Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260117428119041785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-4826594370600366092010-02-09T21:12:32.631-07:002010-02-09T21:12:32.631-07:00I will take Cleveland over Virginia this winter to...I will take Cleveland over Virginia this winter too. You get the snow and they shut down everything. We get snow and it's off to work and school for us. Mia would really like a snow day but that simply means more work and entertainment for me.Colin & Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467459886038171303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-63766113423215315152010-02-09T20:31:15.108-07:002010-02-09T20:31:15.108-07:00You'll notice that Cleveland is in the "T...You'll notice that Cleveland is in the "These people should hit the liquor stores" zone. That's not because of the weather, that's because they live in Clevelend.
