DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

I can't imagine snow that high. I mean how does the dog go to the bathroom in all of that? One of our bad storms about 2 years ago was 2" of snow topped with 4" ice. It didn't melt for weeks. Our backyard was a skating rink...a hilly skating rink. The dogs were hysterical to watch.

 

[firsttimemom]

We have a slight difference of opinion in my house. I vote for no snow at all, the girls vote for snow only on weekends. We all vote for no snow days for school cause then we get out May 27 and will start our Disney vacation then. If not, we have to wait until after June 13th.

our last day is monday the 14th (WHO plans for a final day to be a monday?) and we're on the wonder that leaves the 13th. Im praying for 1 less school day than we're allotted so they will move up the last day.

I think the panic is due to the one time they were not prepared for it when the storm hit.

I just envision toilet paper stacked to the ceiling with a path to the bathroom

I used to work at Meijer. Whenever the news called for snow; toilet paper, milk, eggs, shovels, rock salt and cans of soup would be in short supply.

Our weathermen do have a Bread & Milk scale on their snow forecasts.

She is well. G was disappointed that she didn't comment about his outfit tonight, as she usually does. He tries to dress to get a reaction out of her.

Is he trying for a good reaction or bad reaction?

I have to go pick-up our pizza. I'll be back in 30 minutes.

Howdy everyone!

Let's see if I can remember all of this correctly

Brandie & Alicia - good luck with the interviews!

Lorie -

Nicole - good luck with the house hunting

Tracey - OMG, I can check in online too! It completely slipped my mind! I'll have to put that on my ever-growing to do list QUICKLY! Have a great trip!

Terri - So sorry to hear about your friend's loss. I'm sure you are doing what you can for him. Way to go on the weight loss!

Well, I had an interesting day today. DH took my car in for an oil change and routine maintenance. I did some running around, then met him at the dealership to swap vehicles so his van could be done. We've been contemplating a new car for a while, he DESPISES his minivan (he is a mortgage rep for a bank in MN and drives 3,000 - 5,000 a month in MN, WI and IA and it doesn't have AWD or 4WD, and the seats are incredibly uncomfortable), but we were going to wait until next spring to start actively looking. Well, I get there today, and he says "there's a Suburban out on the lot, should we take a look?" Next thing I know, the sales rep tells me to "take it home for a few hours, try it out, put it through the paces." So I did. I sent DH a text when I got home saying I liked it. When I got back to the dealership, he was sitting at the sales rep's desk with all the paperwork filled out Amazingly, after trading in the dreaded minivan, we didn't much left to finance. It's an '02 GMC Yukon XL.

Now I'm ready for a road trip

I haven't booked anything yet. We were really excited about the school calendar until we got the confirmation calendar from church. They scheduled the confirmation ceremony for the Sunday after the last possible day of school. It is usually in early May.

It takes about 2 feet of snow to close the schools down around here. They only close if the busses can't get to the kids homes to pick-up and drop off.

It only takes a couple inches for us to get to that point.

I love watching a dog who has never experience snow before and how they react to the mysterious white stuff.
Last year my parent's dogs experienced Ice for the first time. They didn't want to leave the house.

Congrats on the new vehicle. They do know how to reel you in.

He doesn't care, any reaction is better than nothing......

Same for me Liz, of course we are both in Maryland so that could explain it.

Todd I used to love to grocery shop until I had to do it with a toddler. Now I have free time due to preschool and I no longer have my Trader Joes just Target, Walmart or Publix. It is not so fun right now. Hopefully when we move the stores will be better. Right now they are down right scary in this area. Did I tell you peeps about "Junk Yard Dawg" at the Publix. He scares me.

Heck, when everything is iced over, I don't want to leave the house!!

thats an odd time- you would think people would be heading for vacation right after school

It's why I usually wait until February until I really start to book. You have to wait for things to get scheduled.

Unfortunately, schools around here freak when it snows and it doesn't take much to shut down school. Then we we get socked with a major storm, we are totally paralyzed. We have cut back so much at the schools that they don't have the personnel to clean the sidewalks.

Ewww, snow We have the possibility of snow showers this week. Our school district will only call for snow days if the buses can't operate safely, which is at least 8-10 inches.

It's funny how things can be so different.

I actually think the bigger issues are the parking lots and sidewalks. If and I mean if we get more than 6 inches it can take a couple of days to clear parking lots and sidewalks.

So True. I got up and got ready for work last January, had the car cleaned off and the sidewalk shoveled and salt spread before I got the Text Message that we were closed for the day. Note this was at 5:30 in the morning. But It did help when the freezing rain hit a couple hours later and I had less to chisel through at the end of the storm. Once I got the message we were closed, I went back to bed and stayed there listening to the cracking of all the branches around the neighborhood falling from the weight of the ice.
