Schools let out early but parents were hours getting to them so now they just seem to try to avoid all of that and close.

I'm like Yorkiemom1, I like living where it's warmer. The livin' in easy in the South and Southwest and even when it is broiling in the summer, we just go from one air-conditioned place to another in air-conditioned cars and it's all good because it doesn't shut things down, you can still go shopping, take the dogs out in the shade, run errands and go everywhere. Would not want to work out in that hot sun all day but if you don't have that kind of job, the summers are made up for by mostly reasonable weather the rest of the year.

My sister's friend who lives in Canada says it is so cold there in the winter, they can't bury people who die in the middle of winter until the Spring thaw. I had never heard anything like that and still wonder if it is true.

Its still true Jeanie...when people up here pass away if the ground is frozen we will have a burial memorial in the spring.
