Today was a snowday. Awesome. But there is one thing about them that sucks so hard, it makes me hate Wisconsin sometimes. Some below the snow belt may not know what I mean, but after being outside in the cold (and I mean real cold) and you walk in the house you get all itchy. Its the most random feeling in the world. You just itch. I have a scientific guess at what it is, and its that your body is try to push blood flow back into your skin because it decreases because of long exposure to the icy air. But still, you sit there for 5 minutes just itching.
Then there are the roads so slippery. Its so bad. You have to go 5 below the speed limit, and I am a habitual speeder. But what real fun is stopping then slamming the gas and you get up to a whole 15 mph when your speedometer says 60.
Even though its a pain in the ass to shovel the entire driveway and commute everywhere as fast as your grandmother on a rascal, I hope we have another tomorrow. That would be the greatest. I don't care if it means a few more days of school when we should be having summer vacation, a mini vacation in February is much better in my opinion.

OH MY GOD, you mean I'm not the only one who gets all itchy? I always thought I was just crazy. D: (Not that I'm not crazy, but it's good to know that I'm not about this particular situation.)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the mini-vacation thing. I would rather have more off top throughout the school year than lose those days in favor of a longer summer vacation. School is more bearable with more random breaks.
I can't say I've gotten that itchy feeling before. Or maybe I have and just haven't realized it?
ReplyDeleteI love snow days. 8D It gives me time to do unfinished homework, and as I usually don't do anything, I don't have to deal with the roads. Though, on the occasion that I do do something, it's a right pain and I'm scared to death I'm going to get into an accident.
