![]() ![]() “ A snow day? Wait- they are going to close the school because of ‘snow’.?!!” For four years in elementary school back in Utah I used to walk three blocks to school, in three feet of snow, uphill- both ways! Blew my 10 year old mind that something like a “ snow day” could happen. ![]() When my family moved back to Memphis and I had my first snow day home from school I didn’t know what that was- or why. There we would have 1′-2′ of snow at a time instead of the inch or two we’d occasionally get here. I grew up in northern Utah for several years. Luckily for me I did my grocery shopping yesterday on the way home from work before any of the weather hit and when they still thought we’d just get light flurries. We can go for a week or more in good weather without them, but store shelves can be emptied almost immediately by this snow induced phenomenon. Just the slightest hint of snow in the weather forecast can have folks around here freak out and descend like ravenous locusts on the local grocery stores, desperately searching for milk and bread- because apparently none of us can survive a snow day here without them. #Buy comics mycomics drivers#It can be pretty treacherous, and Memphis drivers aren’t all that good when the streets are dry. What little snow we get usually melts, then freezes, and then has more snow fall on top of it. Well, my wife Nicki and I woke up to a bit of a surprise this morning… SNOW DAY!įor some folks up north our “ snow storms” would be considered flurries, but here 1″ of snow or more can be a “ Snowmageddon” and practically shut down areas around the mid-south.
