That seems kinda sucky for the Teachers. Their own kids are staying home, got snow to shovel and all other emergencies to take care of.
My point was that the school has the discretion to go remote or call a traditional snow day, instead of some schools that are automatically going remote on what would otherwise be a snow day.
Yes they were (mid 70's). I also remember in the mid 70's Tower residents marching on the Jungle (lived there my first 1 1/2, then frats, then off campus). If I recall correcting Jungle kicked their butts and sent them back. Also remember tray riding in the mud down the center of the Jungle.
Had a troybilt snowblower for about 16 years, although it spent about 3 years in a basement. Absolute beast. When the wet slushy snow fell, I'd bail out my neighbors with their puny snowblowers. Very little maintenance other than replacing the pull cord twice (thank god once was in the spring) until it started leaking oil in the last couple of years. Retired it and bought an Ariens and it too is a beast. I can hit my neighbor's house with snow from my driveway - actually have to be careful to adjust the pitch to not do so. I bought it with the impression that at some point I'd again have impossibly high piles of snow on the sides of my driveway that I'd need to be able to throw over. The last two years have been relative busts and I've hardly used it but it will get a workout tomorrow.
I lived one town over. Lots of bonfires, parties on random dirt roads and in fields, trips to enders falls and various other swimming spots, outdoor activities all summer long. Ski Sundown for much of the winter. Good environment to grow up in, but needed to get to a more urban area when I turned 18. My parents both worked in the Hartford area and they'd drive in to work complaining about how much snow they had at home while their coworkers would have a relative "dusting".
Was in San Diego for that blizzard, and it was fantastic.
I think I used it twice over the last two years. I am very happy tomorrow will be dry fluffy stuff. Should be fun.
Wow when trying to sell a house I didn’t think anyone wanted to live here. We live at 1200ft and usually get more snow.
Same with me, on well and it’s a life saver.
I did not get my car out of the South Campus parking lot, so the plow guys just decided to bury it. Couple of weeks later when enough melted to allow me access, it started right up. 1973 Pontiac T37, 350 V-8. That was a beast.
This is nice fluffy stuff which should be a breeze with a decent blower.
The guy who broke his leg in south was jumping out of Wheeler.
My sophomore year 05-06 I went to a beach-themed party at Hilltop Apartments the same night a foot+ of snow dropped throughout the night.
Good old days where you could pocket some dough. Of course the going rate back in my day was a 5 or 10 bucks, and it was real work. You’d be sweating and freezing at the same time.
Don't forget the great ones who would offer a cup of hot cocoa as a tip!
Yeah wind is the enemy of the snowblower. Layer up and cover your face. Thank god for Lamont enslaving us to face coverings!
