They handle the snow a little differently here in Tennessee than they do back in Wisconsin. It would have to snow pretty hard in Viroqua for the schools to close. It was not unusual at all for it to snow 3-4 inches, but school started on time and went all day anyway.
Last week, we got about a half inch of snow here in Tennessee and school was closed all day. Today, the weather report is calling for a total of 4 – 6 inches starting tonight through tomorrow afternoon. Even though it hasn’t started snowing yet, school ended an hour early because they didn’t want to take a chance that the snow would move in before the schools closed. The kids got a good laugh out of this, although they were more than happy to leave school early.
Kim called a few minutes ago from work and said that a lot of the people at her office are planning on going to the store to stockpile food for the weekend. They are afraid that they won't be able to go anywhere until at least Sunday. Even then, they are not sure any stores or restaurants will be open.
By the way, Canoecopia starts today in Madison. This is the first time we have missed the event since I was being treated for cancer in 2004. It's only the second time since we moved to Wisconsin in 1999 that we'ved missed the show.
In case you don't know, Canoecopia is a huge canoe and kayak show put on by Rutabaga, a large canoe and kayak shop in Madison. In addition to a ton of exhibitors showing everything from canoes and kayaks, to outfitters from all over the world, to outdoor clothing manufacturers, Canoecopia features seminars throughout the weekend on topics related to canoeing and kayaking. It's a great event and one that I will really miss going to this year.

Hey welcome to the South. You always have school closings with threats of bad weather. Next time you make sure you get to the grocery for milk and bread, prior to the "storm."
