What sucks is that AT MOST, they will delay school (work). Also, they won't announce the delay until about 5:00am, so I still have to wake up early.

Oh well, I guess I can't complain about a little time off due to water falling from the sky.

At least I don't have to go go work tomorrow. Gotta love Presidents Day!

We were scheduled to have President's Day off, but we're using it as a make-up day for the inclement weather (which never actually happened) we had a few weeks ago.

It's funny that we might actually get the day off due to real snow.

It was 58 and sunny at work today in Mobile, beats the rain and snow.

I am really going to be pissed off if it does snow. I couldn't deposit my check on Friday because the fucking banks were closed (and the roads weren't even bad), and now everyone's going to be scared shitless again because of this winter weather advisory.

FML.

Do people still actually deposit checks themselves? I haven't been to anything besides the atm in forever.

Although I didn't see Montgomery anywhere on that list, I would love love love to have class canceled again tomorrow. Look on the bright side Vandy, the banks may close, but there is always a bar open.

When you own your own business and are too cheap to have automatic deposit, yes.

If I can't deposit my money, then I have nothing with which to go to the bar. Dark clouds may have silver linings, but the dark cloud is still fucking looming over me.

I really hate banks...

I've been at Ft. Knox for nine days now, and it has snowed seven of those. Luckily for me, it's suppose to dump another six inches of snow tonight.

I guess none of you guys want to hear about how it was sunny, gorgeous and 68 degrees in Houston today... and will be sunny and 60 degress tomorrow for my day off...

Townhallsavoy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2010, 11:25:33 PM »

I believe every school system in the B'ham area has either delayed or cancelled for tomorrow.

Shelby County? "Please watch the website and news outlets for an announcement sometime tomorrow morning."

I know I'm thinking like a teenager, and I just want to sleep in. But have some consideration for the massive amount of parents in the ENTIRE county who will have to adjust their schedule and plans depending on what the superintendent decides. It's not hard. You know the weather forecast. You know what every other school system is doing.

Either decide to be open or decide on a delay. Geebus.

Article in yesterday's paper about the record cold weather.

Noted that for perhaps the first time in history snow fell on the same day in the 49 states on the US mainland.

Closed by saying that extreme cold or record breaking winters did not disprove global warming.

Unreal. If you look out your window and see snow in Baldwin County, it means nothing. If it's 24 degrees at a Mardi Gras parade, take off your jacket because it's so fucking hot there aren't even winters any more.

Idiots.

Idiots are those that think Global Warming is talking only about hot weather. It also has to do with climate changes.

Townhallsavoy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2010, 06:52:10 AM »

Well, it looks like my superintendent isn't so stupid after all.

Not a drop of snow left on the ground this morning. No delay or cancellation necessary.

Fucking dupe.

You mean like the climate change occurring on Mars? The same "climate change" that mimics what's happening here?

Why don't you fly your happy ass up there and see if you can get the martians to "go green" and reduce their carbon footprint.

Al Gore = PT Barnum. There's a sucker born every minute. And you're one.

You do realize that respected scientists who study the sun's activity report the lowest activity in quite a while. They suggest that if the pattern does not change, earth is in store for a prolonged period of frigid weather -- one that could rival the Little Ice Age that lasted 500 years and didn't end until around the time of the Civil War.

Global warming does not exist. Climate change (what there is) is cyclical, not something people created.

In some strange way, I think prowler was agreeing with you and possibly adding a point to the anti-global warming argument. Don't ask me to explain how I came to that conclusion, it just didn't look like he was taking an opposing stance.
