How does your town handle snow?

It's seriously upsetting. It's a complete whiteout outside, and I still have to go to school. But I'm not surprised, schools never close here. We can upwards of two feet of snow, and there would still be places open. There is a complete and absolute disregard for people who have to drive. If a snow truck can make it somewhere, their assumption and everyone else can. What I missed about High School is I could merely just take the bus. But being in college, I have no choice but to drive in my tiny Ford =(. And I'm probably going to die. Is your city like this?

If it's too much - buildozers and some strange military stuff.

We don't have snow where I live :P

If it snows the whole city shuts down. Of course I live in Texas and it snows like once every 20 years and rarely sticks to the ground for more than a few hours.

Badly, I assume, seeing as it never snows here. :P

Lol. I always have to shovel snow for my house and my Neighbors house. Although my Neighbor just recently got a Snow Blower so, I'm kind of out of a job there. :P

My School NEVER Cancelled for snow days, no matter how deep ( Homeschooled :D ). I think my college cancels for snow days though.

Like the rest of the UK; everything shuts down.Big_Bad_Sad

Lucky. Sort of. Does this include communications and such?

Cool, What School are you using? We used "Kolbe Academy".

When you're ready to go to college you might meet some discrimination against Homeschoolers. One of the schools I wanted to go to kind of snubbed me because I was Homeschooled.

I live in Colorado, hence all of the badass snow plowers and burly men with shovels. :P

It has to be pretty bad outside for them to cancel school where I live. But, we're used to having some strong winter weather around here

Yeah, I did the same thing, I basically taught myself everything. Who grades your exams?

MY exams were either sent to our local Highschool or to the School that we got our Curriculum from.

I live in the northern US, so we handle it quite well. Otherwise, we'd have to shut down for 5 months of the year. Plows are out early and usually have the roads clear and salted. Most but not all people are smart enough to drive in it.

what is this "snow" you speak of?

sometimes I wish we got snow where I live, but then I hear the horror stories and I am thankful

Like the rest of the UK; everything shuts down.Big_Bad_Sad

:lol: So true, we have a little bit of snow, everyone panics, people get snowed in. We're never prepared, the Scottish Highlands get a lot of snow, so the people that reside there are able to cope.

montreal is used to it by now we spend 11m on a snowstorm

No idea. It hasn't snowed in Florida for 20 years now.

According to my city, 3 inches of snow counts as a snow storm, and school ends early. I live in Toronto Canada btw.:P

It's never snowed here.

Town?.... my whole country break down when its snows

Plows, salt, and sand, like most places I imagine. My dad used to work for the street department in my city, and had to go to work at 11 PM if the weather was bad (all the time :P ), and work a 16 hour shift every day. Just about every year, he would be out plowing snow on Christmas day. I have a lot of respect for the guys that clean the streets. :P

i live in georgia, so we don't get much snow, if any. it's pathetic though. it'll start flurrying and people will freak out :|

My city plows the snow early in the morning and we get on with our lives with whining. Driving in snow isn't that hard, well, I don't find it difficult.FragStains

If there are mutiple feet of snow, school will usually close. Also if there's threats of ice forming in the street even if their isn't much snow school will be delayed or closed. Once it closed when there was no snow, just rain. I guess they thought it might freeze over or something.

Now I'm in college though in a place where it usually snows a lot, I doubt they'd close anytime soon.

We keep our snow in the freezer - never snowed here

Like a national emergency.
