It's too cold to cancel school

On Monday many school children who attend Centerville Schools, a suburb of St Louis, were allowed to take the day off.

Why you ask?

Well it was just too COLD!

The temperature on Sunday and was around 65 degrees, and it dropped on Monday morning to around 34 degrees..

WOW, talk about freezing! Oh wait that doesn't happen until you hit 32 degrees. I'm not trying to sound like a badass because I'm from a small town in North Dakota. But 32 degrees, that's good weather.

Some even wear shorts to class when it gets that hot in the winter time! Granted those guys are still drunk from the night before, but I have seen girls going to the bars in mini-skirts at below 0 temperatures, bundled up in their car, but strip down as they run into the club... (Doesn't that defeat the point?) It's like ordering an extra large fry, a double qtr pound cheeseburger, and a DIET Coke..
Obviously people love to make fun of how cold it gets back home, and crazy we are to have lived there, but in reality I'd take not being a big pussy over getting made fun of for being from the north.


Maybe you didn't watch the movie The Day After Tomorrow where this little thing called "Global Warming" completely reverses the global climates of many countries, and freezes the top half of the globe? Turns out because of this movie there actually is a site designed when its going to happen. Ya, that's right all you babies who couldn't handle the cold, or the wolves that escaped the zoo, you all died. Meanwhile us from the North were cool with it.. We now had more places to go snowmobiling, and skiing.

Holy that looks cold, we better cancel school!

So what I'm trying to say is cheers to babying the kids of the future even more..

34 and they cancelled? Unreal. We didn't get school cancelled a few years ago when the National Weather Service was telling people it was unsafe to be outside for over 10 minutes at a time. And we're walking around campus.

Pussies.

That is silly, what are they going to do when it really gets cold?

That's right they can't drive down south either.

Brutal. Keep on representing the North Brodawg. Maybe you should wear shorts to work one day ans send a message.

The reason they cancelled was because the Heaters were being revamped or something. They were supposed to be done, but like any community or gov't project, things fall behind... I can't wait for when snow actually flys here, and post all the links on here of school closings and interstate closings because we got an INCH of snow! ha ha this is going to be a great winter...
