Snow day?

SNOW DAY! No sweeter words can fall upon the ears of school children in TN. So when rumor of 2 or more inches hits, a panic of sorts starts.
Yesterday on a normal run into Walmart for sugar, I noticed several people in lines with the staples, bread, milk and soup. Hmmm. I guess I'm missing something. We have milk and some soup and bread too, so we would be fine if we were here through the weekend.
Here in Clarksville we generally don't get much snow. We are due a good one. Several years ago we were plagued with ice storms. Kentucky got the brunt of that last year. Forcasters are predicting and inch or two. Earlier this week it was 2-4. What Clarksville needs is a good 5-8 inches.
Now don't take me wrong, I don't want wrecks and people hurt or frozen in their homes. Just a good dose of snow so that folks can get a real taste of it. So that it is around long enough for the kids to play in, so they can go back to school with snow on the ground. I was sad to hear though, that they will not let the kids go play in snow when they are at school. WOW! How sad!

Yeah... but think of all those wet, stinky little feet when they came in from the playground. It could knock an elephant over!
