Snow

School was canceled again on Tuesday, due to the impending snow storm.  Let me rephrase, that all of the school districts except one were closed on Tuesday.  The one, North Buncombe county opened because they have missed more days than the rest of the districts.  Stay with me here.
The rationale for closing schools is so the kids will not have to travel in the alleged poor conditions to get to school.  So, they close school, but because one district had been closed more days than the other districts,  they open,  thereby risking the lives of all of the kids in that district,  just to get on an even playing field with the other districts.  That tells me that  the schools care more about the number of days attended than the kid's safety,  and  that it would have been possible for all of the districts to attend school and avoid going this saturday..........why? 

Let me propose that we don't close schools when we freak out about the snow.   Even if busses can't run, the majority of parents will get their kids to school.  After all,  they will get them to the mall when the schools are closed!!!

So, yesterday, Jubal's school was closed, but Rhonda's was on a 2 hr delay, until noon when they announced that school was closing at noon.....

Road conditions started to get concerning to my bosses in the Black Mountain area, so they sent us home.  Jubal and I got to spend some quality snow time together while Rhonda stay home and baked bread, cookies and made so delish split pea soup!!

We went sledding, but the snow was so fluffy and deep we had trouble going fast. 

We built a snowman with green hair.  The kids are studying Dr Seuss, Tuesday was crazy hair day.  Jubal had green hair, and so does his snowman.

I am loving the snow,  can't ride outside, but it has been a fun time. 

Have a great day!!
