Share a memory about a weather-related school cancellation.
I cannot remember a school cancellation due to weather. I suppose we could have had one but the worst thing that happened due to weather was the snow storm that caused us to have to walk a half mile to the bus. That story was related on Jan. 30, 2010 in this blog.
We had some pretty good storms when I was young and I remember walking to the barn with the snow near my shoulders as a little boy but remember I was pretty small so a foot of snow could have been pretty deep to me. Mostly the main thing that the snow did for us was to blow across the bench and create huge drifts over the cedar trees along the edge of the hill. That then created some great places to dig and have snow caves since the snow would go over the trees and under the trees would be bare ground. Those caves were a lot of fun, probably more fun had we gotten to miss school for it but that just didn’t happen that I can recall.
