southern wimps

OMG I'm raising southern wimps here. No Michiganders in this house (other than me of course). Av came home today and said, "the sock hop got canceled for tonight." I said, "I know, that's a bummer, do you know why?" "Because all the snow and ice" she said. I about died. There is a dusting on the ground. Our yard is more a mud pit than anything else right now. Not enough snow to make a snow ball and ice? What ice??? This town is turning her into a "jump the gun, send the kids home and shut the city down for the inch of snow that's coming." I was fine with it until I saw that it was making my kid such a wimp. They got sent home from school yesterday the minute the day counted as a full day. We never got all the snow they were predicting. I told Av she was so lucky bc where I grew up in MI we lived for months and months with feet of snow on the ground and we NEVER got sent home early. She looked at me and said, "I don't want to live in Michigan." heheheh
