Feel your pain.  I just recently relaunched MiG with a new layout and template design.

I have tried the BBQ in the House of BBQ two years in a row now and I have gotten food poisoning both times so never again.  I'll stick with Rib House down by Lost River.

We missed a half day on Wednesday - I'll be ticked if we have to go a full day to make it up.

As of right now, our last day is now May 24th, but the winter is far from being over.

I cannot ever remember having 4 days off in-a-row even when I was in high school.
We, in all honesty, could probably have gone back tomorrow, but a lot of our rural kids are still snowed in and I think that's why we are not.

We could have gone "hard surfaces only" like a few schools are, but then again most of our routes are NOT "hard surface" so it wouldn't have done us any good.  lol

Luckily our district does an "in house" career-ladder.  Granted it is not to the level that the state program was, but it is also a lot less paperwork.  Every little bit helps.

We're at #5 now on the Snow Days.  Amazing that in one week we go from only one to five.
The worst part is that this winter is far from over.

Just got the call.  Snow Day again tomorrow.  WOW.  4 Snow Days in a row has to be a record for my district.  The main roads are looking pretty good but we still have a lot of kids in the rural areas snowed in.  Probably the best thing the district can do is to allow 3 more days to get things back to normal and then start new on Monday.

Well 4 school districts around here have already called off for tomorrow.  The main roads are getting much better but the rural roads are still terrible - but they are finally getting bladed some.  If it was me (and again I think too logically) I'd call off and let them have through the weekend to get everything sorted out and then pick up the pieces on Monday.  However, I won't be too surprised if we go in tomorrow - which will be a NUT HOUSE if we do.

Out again tomorrow.  Snow Day #4 for us total.
I'll be surprised if we go on Friday.  Some schools have already called off the rest of the week.  Town is starting to slowly come back to life but the rural roads are a mess still and will be for quite awhile.  Even if we have school Friday half of the kids won't be able to make it in and I sure wouldn't want the buses out on those roads.  The only reason why they are in as good as shape as they are is because farmers have their tractors out working on them -- sure isn't because of MoDOT

I-70 is almost completely closed from KC to St. Louis.  There is a small stretch open but it is not advisable to drive on it.

We have so much snow here I have no idea how much we have now.  There are some drifts that are at least 4 feet.  Wish the wind wasn't blowing so I could get an accurate reading.
