It seems like where I live now, they cancel school at the slightest hint of snow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-days-when-you-were-a-kid-vs-now#post-2709983 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 08:25:34 +0000 ladybee 2709983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@farawayyama: I'm in NE Ohio and grew up in NW Ohio! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-days-when-you-were-a-kid-vs-now#post-2709964 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 08:03:24 +0000 looch 2709964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel they are the same, plus/minus one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-days-when-you-were-a-kid-vs-now#post-2709961 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 08:01:16 +0000 farawayyama 2709961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in New Zealand. I had one. Ever.</p> <p>Now I live in the snow belt (northern ohio) and teach. Today is our fourth this year, and we've also been closed for illness and for a power outage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-days-when-you-were-a-kid-vs-now#post-2709870 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 20:55:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2709870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh- and while snow days with the kids home trapped inside are rough, I definitely prefer that to driving to pick her up early in treacherous conditions! And I appreciate that DH can easily work from home on bad weather days instead of having to risk driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-days-when-you-were-a-kid-vs-now#post-2709868 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 20:52:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2709868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How does the amount of snow days you/ your kids have now compare with what you remember from growing up? </p> <p>I grew up in a similar climate to where I live now (a little less snow but a little less equipped to deal with it, all northeast US). It feels like the number of snow days we have is pretty similar, but I can't remember them canceling school the night before, before it had even started snowing, at all. This winter I feel like every time we have a snow day it's been announced the night before. I'm wondering if they realized how much easier it is on parents and safer it is tokeep people off the roads, or weather predictions have gotten better and more reliable?</p> <p>But no wearing pajamas backwards and jumping on the bed hoping for a snow day for us! </p>
