As a child I used to long for snowy days. I don't remember our school ever being closed because of bad weather. We weren't allowed to play snowballs in the playground but sometimes we could build snowmen. The school rule was that we had to have indoor shoes whatever the weather, so our wet shoes would be abandoned in the cloakroom. The minimum heating would be 60F or 15.6C which would be reckoned as rather cold today.
The first winter I lived in Caistor (2010/11) we had very heavy snow and delivery services didn't come into our little cul de sac. I had lived in a village which had problems every time we had snow, so I have always had a good pantry, but after three weeks the menu had become "unusual". Even today I have a very good supply of tinned food and a picnic stove in case we have power cuts. I would hate to have to open the freezer and let the cold air out!
It was too cold and icy the other day to go out... a tin of baked beans and cut up leftover sausages plus veg on a baked potato made a good store cupboard meal!
ReplyDeletesounds good!
DeleteIt looks beautiful! We get lots of snow here, all the way up into April. But we have warm spells here and there so that it all melts ready to come back fresh and new.
ReplyDeleteThe kids at the daycare have two sets pf shoes for “school” too. So we don’t have water everywhere.
I hated having to change my shoes twice every break time but it makes sense.
DeleteWe've had a warming here and snow is melting. I bet we are warmer than you today.
ReplyDeleteI loved the poignant memories of snow and school. In Georgia, schools always close for even an inch of snow, sometimes just the thought that it might possibly snow, lol! Have a great weekend. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI think that is quite a bit of snow for your area. Stay in and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
