Rainy Day :)

Yeah today I couldn’t

go to school cuz the weather waz horrible so they cancled it YAY!!! I mean it was raining all day i think it has

stopped now. So i’m typing on computer to keep myself occcupie. Has anyone else had one of those days where it

has rained so bad they cancled school? If so what’d you guys do?

Rain day? That’s new. Round here we

only get snow days, and in seven years of comprehensive education, I only ever got one snow day. Stupid temperate

climate…

I’m homeschooled, so I have

school rain or shine. On the plus side, I can take breaks whenever I want, I do my homework surprisingly fast,

and there are no kids to pick on me. :smiley:

Your school cancelled a day because of rain? If that happened here, we’d take

most days off school! :laughing:

And since we don’t have snow, we’ve never had a day off school due to bad

weather. I did take the day off today anyway- today, for everyone in our year, they had this arangement with the

boy’s school next door (I go to an all-girl’s school) for every form to be mixed around and swopped about, so

that no-one was with anyone they knew, and the task was to make a song and dance routine to go with

it.

Well, I thought it was a loud of rubbish missing a double chemistry lesson, a double latin lesson, and

an English and maths lesson, to do this two weeks before our last mock exams. So I took the day off to revise

instead. :smiley:

Wow , I wish I got rain days off . I only get snow days ,

and two years ago , it snowed so bad school was closed for a week in some spots . But where i lived , we only got

3 days , and then i moved to a place that got a week off , so i had too many extra days of school .

But

snow days are fun since i get to go outside and then i get hot chocolate . yay hot chocolate ! lol :smiley:

Well, I live in the south of Misssisssippi we get lots of

rain either in the summer or close to winter, aww,heck we get rain depending on the clouds :wink:

Up here in the ever-weather changing Alberta. We never

get snow days. Not even if it’s -40 degrees C. But then usally my mom says we can stay home.

wow , you live in mississippi ? did u get hit by katrina ? or am i mixing up my states here ?

i still have to say that saying to remember how to spell mississippi .
I just did it again !

I guess you

could say that I’ve had a few “rain days” before, but technically they

were all more of “hurricane days.” :stuck_out_tongue: We got a whole week off I think it was… two years ago, for

Hurricane Isabel(le?), because it knocked out the school’s power. Along with pretty much the entire city’s…

but not mine! :smiley:

We usually get a few snow days each year, too, but last year we didn’t have a single

one, which kind of ticked me off. One two-hour delayed opening, but no closings. I guess I’ve just been

spoiled in that regard… :unamused: I’m hoping that the strength of the hurricane season is inversely related to

the amount of snow the following winter, in which case we should be getting two or three blizzards like way back

in the 90’s.

Ugh, I wish I got off that easy

:unamused: Sammeh pretty much explained it. I barely get days off. It would have to be still snowing by the time

school started for me to have a break. :angry: On top of that I have to walk to school! :angry: At least they give me a

break on being late. :unamused: :mrgreen:

GLP:Yeah we did get hit by Katrina it been over a year cuz it hit 8/29/05
i

live in the southern part of Mississippi so yeah. i mean the way south in Harrison county maybe you can look it

up one time.

Well, rainy school days. . .

I rarely experience it. I live in So Cal and I rarely get any rain. But still, I have to go to school, from a

huricane to a drizzle.

our weather waz horrible, it rained all day long that I

almost had to stay off the computer or it would get hit by lightning it has stopped now. and the power flickered

on/off i was bored when the power was off because I had nothing to Do!!

If our school flodded, then it would

be canceled. Lighting isn’t that bad. No body pays attention anyways.

CarFreak - Really? I absolutely love it when the power

goes out around our house. Yes, it is practically impossible to “surf the web” or watch a favorite

television program at the time, but it does give one a chance to experience something

rather…“different” for a change.

For example, you could do one of these things that some

people – particularly teens – don’t do (or don’t think of doing) everyday:

  • Hike
  • Read a

book

  • Play a board game
  • Write a novel*
  • Play tag/hide-'n-seek with your brother or sister

Play “I spy”

  • Clean the house
  • Organize your room
  • Bake cookies (if

all the power is not out)

I do almost all of these (with the exception of the

fifth and last ones) almost daily.

*Only for the extreme literature-geeks…like myself.

:wink:

The Star Swordsman - You live in Southern California, too? Awesome. It

gets kinda boring around here sometimes, though – heh.

Mitch: Hot and not really boring. Sand Diego is where I live. Beautiful San Diego

California.

hehe - We get

hurricane days here in Florida :sunglasses:

It doesn’t surprise me you guys got the day off in Mississippi. It

was nasty here tonight and I’d been following the storms all day. Vorticity was strong and hellicity was off

the charts to our west. The radar was lit up bright red and the windfield looked like a Christmas tree with

multiple mesocyclones forming across the region. With watch after watch and warning after warning being issued

I’m sure you had the day off but I’d bet they were more worried about the lightning, high winds, and potential

of flooding, tornadoes, and microbursts than they were of the rain. :wink:

When I was in school we had

a few early days because it got so hot. We only had to go for about 2 hours but no work got done anyway.

The Star Swordsman -

Ohh…Sand Diego, huh? Are you right next to the beach?

I live a little ways north of you. Just for the

sake of privacy, I feel that it is wise to not tell anyone exactly where I am

situated, just to be on the safe side. Heheh.

It’s been rather windy these past weeks, actually. The

temperature was going up and down for a few days – it would go from 50 degrees to 90 degrees in the course of

two days. Weather’s insanity at its worst; at least, over here it is. We haven’t gotten so much as a

thunderstorm – a major one, anyway – in years. It sucks. I want some action! :stuck_out_tongue:

Dash: You lost me after “I’d been following the storms all day.”

:wink:
