Yea ALOT of schools and what not are shut down. The snow acctually stuck and has been here for more then a few hours. ITS WEIRD!!

A common phenomenon.  I watched people here in Oz stock upthe days before Xmas as though there was a siege although the supermarkets were only closed on Christmas Day. Go figure.

I took a nap and 95% of the snow disappeared >.<

I personally love the cold, but here in Florida it's a rare thing.  It really irks me when watching the evening news and the meteorologist and anchor people make such a big deal when the thermometer hits 50.  They're like, Oh, the humanity, when is it going to warm up, we're going to die if the temperature dips below 80.

Here in Austin it was the ice which was covered by ½ inch of snow that was bothersome.  Couldn't even get the newspaper on the driveway  until mid afternoon.  Of course it will be 70 tomorrow.  Lived in Alberta (cold) and Syracuse (snow - 200 inches a year) so I know winter. 

OMG I saw a snow flake! Go buy out the store of milk and eggs!!!!!!  From my New England days.

I always found it funny how people would clear out the stores. I remember the same thing in NY. The whole aisle and shelves would be devoid of milk, bread and eggs at the mere mention of snow.

Tallahassee/Leon County went into total freak out mode.  They even cancelled school.  Driving to work this morning, my first thought was that it was worse during a normal rainstorm last week.  SMH

We close the schools at the first sight of a snow flake in CT - sometimes we close just based on the forecast. Parents will complain when we close - that we should have been open and they will complain when we stay open that we should have closed. 

When I was a kid, schools were always open and parents used their judgment. If they thought it was unsafe to go to school they kept their kids home.
