My Prediction - 3 Inches

of snow will be on the ground tomorrow morning.

My prediction is based soley on the fact that the local school district made the decision to cancel school for tomorrow, a decision made due to the snow, sight unseen. In the 5 winters we have experienced here, we have never had a snow day. As the attendance manager at Erica and Brian's school has [quite authoritatively] said "in my 20 years in the school district, we have never had a school cancellation due to weather".

Until now.

And, the reason for my prediction.

Heck, we all recall growing up and having an occaisional snow day. But NEVER called off the night before the storm hit. It's just not right - I remember having to go to sleep [at the normal bedtime] with the air of uncertainty and anticipation. And in the morning, when school was called off, it was like Christmas morning - everyone excited and running around, clamoring to get outside to play in the snow.

I hope I am wrong and that 10 inches is on the ground when I wake up tomorrow morning [at the normal get up time], so the kids can go play in it as I telecommute into work. Maybe I'll get a chance to play out in the snow, and even make a Snow Angel. [I can do that, even with just 3 inches of the white stuff, eh?]
