That's not Erie! Colorado?

Not sure about all the photo's but a few are from Japan, point being we haven't seen any snow here yet

In 1976 we were in Newport News, VA, we got a dusting and school closed. Having lived in Rhode Island prior to that it seemed strange. A couple years ago here, school closed the night before because of the forecast, the storm completely passed us, didn't even have anything laying, but since they had already called off they didn't change their mind come morning.

I believe the administration got a lot of angry phone calls about that one.

When I lived in southern Alabama the policy was 1/4 inch of snow and everything shuts down. The locals had no way of dealing with it.

I kind of miss the lake effect snow.

The locals here are paralyzed by a mere dusting on the grass.

I do miss the lake effect, but not relocating it!

I lived in Miami for 14 years. They closed schools if the temps weren't going above 60. The schools are unheated, which makes fiscal sense in Miami.

Today, northern Wisconsin. We have about 12" accumulated so far this year. Oddly, we're in a place where we don't get as much snow as north or south of us. Chicago is 6-7 hours south and gets more snow.

Sunday night we are anticipating 17 below with a high of 2. It goes to 25 here and we appreciate the warming trend.

21 years in Philly, 14 in Miami, another 19 in Bucks County and now WI. By the time I die the average temperature will have been 72. Not bad overall.

My cousin, who now lives in PRNJ moved from Va Beach to Minneapolis and back to NJ> The only thing they lost in the move here was their box of winter boots. They got a bunch of snow along with low temps out there.

Bullshit! I grew up in Miami. Both elementary and high school had heat, and I remember going to school when the temps were in the upper thirties.

Not sure when you went to school but I was working on school buildings in the 80's.

Before then. The only time I missed school due to weather was after Cleo.

I installed heat and A/C in several schools, Liberty City, Carol City and Overtown. They were existing buildings though I have no idea the age, but not very old. I was told, by teachers, that prior to the installation the schools were closed if the temps were not to go above 60. Other than that, I can't say more...it's all I know. I lived in Pembroke Pines and Adventura, had no kids and didn't pay much attention to school closings for weather.

You worked in school districts in the poorer parts of Miami. At the time, I would have been unaware of the circumstances you described. The twelve years I went thru school, I met one black kid, and knew no others, and I lived in SW Miami. Before I attended high school, S. Miami High was built, and all SW Miami High black students were transferred there. Talk about living in a vacuum.
