Back in the day we had to watch the ticker across the bottom of the news channel the morning of in order to know if we had school or not. The 2007 Valentine's storm is the only storm that I remember school being cancelled the night before.

Anyway, I remember there being one morning where I was PISSED that we didn't have a snow day. Definitely seemed worthy of one, but it was maybe 20min before school started and it hadn't been called yet. My friend/neighbor's dad would drive us to school, and as he pulled into my driveway I turned around to look at the TV once more - sure enough our school's name popped up on the screen!

I screamed out to them that school was closed. A few minutes of panic ensued as we decided whether we would immediately begin hanging out/playing in the snow or go back to bed for a bit and meet up later. Of course we got right to it.
