This isn't a shock at all. The snow started here at around 4 pm and has been going steadily since then. It isn't supposed to stop until 2 am or so. We've already gotten 5 inches at least and the forecast is for 8-10".
They called with a 90 minute delay at around 6 pm tonight. That was a joke and all of my coworkers and the parents that I know were mocking it. We figured that they would wait until the morning to cancel, though. We all KNEW they would cancel but we thought that they would wait. I'm actually shocked that they made a second call just a couple of hours after the first one. That being said, I'm happy that they did because it is always better to go to bed knowing that you have the next day off rather than having to wake up early in the morning and then get the call and hope you can fall back asleep.
They will now add 1 more day to the end of the school year for tomorrow's day off. Our last day of school is now on a Friday. I hope we don't have any more added days because who the heck wants to return for just a Monday?

Has the word "nor'easter" been banned as a "dirty word" yet?

They did the right thing at least now you will be home safe in a warm bed and all the kids will be home safe as well.

They COULD but they never will. They haven't done it in the 17 years that I've worked for the district. The parents would raise holy hell b/c they book vacations on that week. (as if they care about all of the other days that their kids miss the rest of the year)

Hopefully the weather has gotten much nicer by now. That would really suck if it hasn't!
