Side Note on NYC Snow Days

According to an article on the NY Times website, schools have been closed only four times since 1982 because of the snow! And the 5 year streak since the last has been broken (secret cheer!)

In other words, NYC DOE never closes school for snow days. We had 4 snow days at my Midwest school before the school year was half over last year. Huh. I like the "we always go to school, no matter what" mentality, but maybe I like snow days more. (From the rumors, D.C. might be a good place to teach for snow day lovers...)

Actually, you can go to Nassau or Westchester if you like snow days. You don't need to travel very far at all.

True Nassau has it's share of snow days of which to take advantage and enjoy.
