I Always Welcome a Snow Day

I've long since come to accept the fact that NYC doesn't have snow days. It's been hard, because, since I was a young student, I've always associated any forecast of snow as a forecast for a possible snow day. Growing up in the Midwest, we had plenty of snow days... plenty of snow days in a row (had about a week off in the middle December last school year)... and even some snow days that never amounted to much snow, but more of a day off (a prediction of bad weather was sometimes enough to cancel school... imagine the surprise when the weather never quite amounted to much, but all the students were home enjoying the day off!).

So imagine my surprise, happiness, excitement when, at 6:15 a.m. my co-teacher calls to inform a hardly-awake teacher that there was NO SCHOOL! (I was still in bed... trying to push the clock on being on time this particular Monday morning.) As I let out a quiet cheer, I jumped back in bed to enjoy a morning of sleeping in!!

Unfortunately, although I very much enjoyed my snow day, I think this will make me hopeful at the possibility of more to come when snow is forecasted in the future. I'll be wishing and hoping... Just because it happened that one time!

Hope everyone else loved the happy news of a snow day! I know I had a wonderful Monday :)
