Flushing ice cubes down the toilet, wearing your PJs backward to bed, sleeping with a spoon under your pillow, putting a white crayon in the freezer. The weather has lots of students and teachers all throughout the district in whispered huddles conspiring to guarantee a heavy snowfall tonight and tomorrow. As we move into February almost everyone is hoping for a snow day (or two).

The current winter storm warning that kicks into effect at 9PM tonight and extends to 6PM Thursday evening is forecasting freezing rain and heavy snow up to 14 inches. The Weather Channel predicts travel will be “very difficult to impossible”. 

The outcome seems inevitable; however, this would not be the first time this school year that the inevitable didn’t happen and we found ourselves in school the next morning. But, on the chance that we all find ourselves with eight hours of free time tomorrow, plans are being made. The most common activities include gaming, sledding, homework, sleeping in, sewing all day, baking, binge watching TV, and getting organized. The exception is Mr. Sprague. He anticipates he will still have to come in to work, but if it is a snow day, he plans on doing all the things at school he typically doesn’t get to do; shoot some hoops in the gym, lift some weights in the weight room, and beat on the drums in the band room!

Whatever the outcome, our hope is that all Stallions are able to stay safe and warm.
