How Much Did I Pay For This Self Inflicted Fun? A Wigdout trip report.

[Mndisneygirl]

And might I add - You are cracking me up!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

England is covered in snow, our schools are shut, can I join the party too?

 

[brookelizabeth]

Hellooo! Is it a MN convention on the Dis lately! Where are you from?

Hutchinson (Central MN in case you don't know where it is ) How about you?

It's unusually cold here now too. One of the girls I work with is getting married in New Orleans 3/2012. The receptions is going to be at one of the old hotels near the Quarter. My daughter has dreams of getting married at St. Louis Cathedral.

Their wedding was at Our Lady of Guadalupe, a church in the Quarter. Then the jazz band led us down the street to the Royal Sonesta for the reception. Corner of Royal and Bourbon. It was a blast! The Royal Sonesta is a beaaaaaautiful hotel - the reception rooms were stunning!

Just a weather report from sunny Southern California...it was 75 yesterday and sunny.

you stink!

They are telling me the lows with the wind chill on Friday and Saturday are going to be in the single digits...I kid you not the weather report is saying the low on Friday is going to be 6 and the low on Friday is going to be 5...this is not OKAY with me!!

Wow, that is VERY cold for FL!!! I'm glad we hit a warm streak!

I'm thinking of pulling out my cuddle duds too! It's stinkin cold here, we aren't used to this kind of cold either. It's been in the 20s all week and the next couple of days we have highs in the teens - forecasted low for Saturday is 0

Of course, my Minnesota family calls me a wimp when I complain like this....

 

[SoonerGirl]

Yes, I know - I am a wimp when it comes to the cold. I am forever thankful that my mom didn't move back to MN when my parents divorced - I'd have never made it!

I so understand...Joe and I talk OFTEN about moving south. The winters are just annoying here. Blah!

I'm afraid with our predicted 2inches of snow and 8 degree high, we will have school unless we get a layer of ice below the snow. So I'll be hoping for some ice.
I have the Mickey Jammies picked out just in case though!
For us it's either 6 inches or ice to get school called off.

Couldn't you just postpone the Thanksgiving trip until Christmas?

Well I doubt I'll get a thanksgiving trip but it's the fall Holiday DH would like to go out for, Christmas is the one time we have all 4 kids without much in the way of scheduling conflicts and as a result, we really like to be at home with all our traditions. We traveled one year and said never again!

It could happen though after the big kids are out of the house...

With us, it only takes an inch and we're out. Ice gets us out immediately. The trouble is, our area sometimes gets overlooked by the snow gods. Everyone for miles around will get something and be out, but we'll have some sort of invisible shield that keeps us snow and ice free, so we have to go to school. I will be very happy for the predicted snow day, but I won't be one bit surprised if we do not get it, either.

Okay well turns out I might be at the pajama party...they are calling for snow here in FLORIDA...really this is why I moved from Alaska...it is so cold here. It felt like 14 yesterday morning so no calling me a pansy people it was COLD!!!! So if it does snow I'm not going to school with all the people who think they know how to drive in Snow in FLORIDA...I'll curl up in my Mickey PJs with you guys!!!

WOW you guys!

It's 47 and cloudy here. Not very interesting at all!

We shut down for ice too as it's so hilly and the city is not equipped for it at all. Anything over 2" will do it but sometimes less. Not a single snow day so far though! My boys are DYING for one!

I'll wear my mickey jams in support though!

I just had to share this since we've had all this talk about snow days, etc. I just heard on the radio that Oklahoma City Public Schools are going to close tomorrow and Friday because it's supposed to be really cold Seriously? They are closing because it's cold??? My boys are bummed because we aren't in the OKC school district....

In 1996 it was so cold one day in Minnesota the schools closed. I think the record for the state was around -60 in International Falls. Where we were it was around -40. The state literally shut down and they told everyone to stay inside. It was nuts!!

Do you think other school systems will follow OKC? Around here it seems one closes and slowly all those around it close too.

Schools in Alabama also have closed because its going to be cold cold cold!! So I believe it, there is a rumor going around they are considering closing our school on Friday because of the temperature. You would be shocked by what some of my kids were wearing today and it was in the low 30s when they got to school today.

Well, everything SHOULD shut down if it's -40, that's dangerous cold! We are supposed to be in the high teens tomorrow, but with a 30mph north wind. So, it's going to be cold, but cold enough to close schools

I hope our schools don't close. Justin has a basketball tournament that starts tomorrow and he was just released to start playing again from his elbow injury - he will be big time bummed if they cancelled school & therefore the tournament!

Oh I can only imagine. My neighbors son had on short sleeves and no coat this morning. He is routinely outside in the winter without shoes on

There is too much talk of cold weather on the this here thread! I come here to think about warm weather and sunshine. Post some Kidani pics or some sunshine or something warm Wigd. Please, before I put on another pair on long johns and run for the snuggle!

I would surely love to see 47 right now, for the sake of my heating bill, which will be outrageous next month!

My students did a pretty wild snow dance shortly before dismissal. We'll see what happens.

I think I am the only one without Disney pajamas.

I don't have any either MeMom. Of course, based on the latest weather report, I think it is very, very unlikely that I would even be home to need them.

Isn't the contest supposed to end today? Not to be confused with the infamous contest from the Seinfeld episode.

Not looking like a snow day tomorrow in New England. Hope some of you get to spend the day in your mickey pjs!

I was in Minnesota for that freezing cold winter. It was 50 below with the wind chill. I remember my DH going out to start the car every two hours. They closed the KMart too! Nothing was open. PLUS there was 3 ft of snow on the ground! It was SOOO cold that your nose hairs froze immediately. (sorry, tmi, but true)

 

[grumpyyoungguy]
