School Already Canceled Tomorrow for Snowpocalypse!

i remember 96...it was thundering...i thought my roomate dosed my coffee so i went back inside.

Back in 1957 I was out in the snow, today the kids will be home watching TV while eating processed junk food.

Yeh 1978 - 1996 my entire school life fit neatly inside. Never had a school day, hate all children who weekday winter frolic as a result. More on my blog.

Read and Enjoy

"Keep Brooklyn in your heart and you'll be alright"

Well don't go jumping to conclusions, It ain't started snowing yet ! But I do Remember the Blizzard of 96, Even though, I graduated a year prior . I got three days off work with pay because of that storm .

This just in "the National Weather Service has downgraded tomorrow's weather from a winter wonderland to a Class 3 Kill Storm"

Teenagers praying for ten inches of the white stuff? Sounds like more tales from the rubber room.

Call me mad, but I actually have high hopes for SNOWPOCALYPSE 2: SNOWVERKILL, after the disappointment of the original Snowpocalypse. Only white stuff I saw out my window Saturday was pre-salt covering the sidewalks and some poor Albino bugger across the way.

Does this mean a snow day for the rubber room?

"Snowpocalypse" and "snowmageddon" are both already taken. The former for the storm in December and the latter for the most recent storm in DC. Find a new name.

Snownarok?

NYC public schools sure have become soft.

Bloomberg must know something we dont! They NEVER close NYC public schools, even when it IS snowing.

Kanye West hates white people.

I'm so annoyed with how "Chicken Little" the news/politician nexus has become, that I hope it doesn't snow.

And then the children will be running wild in the streets...

We're not even going to get an inch.

That's what I said about the last alleged "snowstorm" last Saturday. But I have a feeling we're gonna be well & truly dumped on this time around.

If you read the actual forecasts for the weekend (as opposed to always-hyped coverage of the forecasts), they made clear that there was a lot of unpredictability as to how the storm would track as it moved up the coast, and so how it would impact this area.

This time around, there's none of that.

Are any colleges closed?

"Snowpocalypse"? That is so lame. Come on, JDS. "Snowmageddon" sounds so much better.

"Snow Day" was actually one of the better films of its ilk.

Starred Park Slope child actress Zena Grey.

"Blow Day" starred Sasha Grey.

Good. I live near Clara Abortion and Prospect Heights. I hate all of those kids. I'd rather crawl through snow everyday than deal with them blocking the sidewalks and being hormonal annoying teens.

Does Tawana Palsy go to Clara Abortion?

Back when I was in grade school (90s), I remember only two snow days. And that was for two feet! These kids have it too easy.

We're definitely around the same age. I remember getting off for the Blizzard of '96, and then later on, a day off in HS for snow that never actually came.

I was in high school for the 96 blizzard closing. If I remember correctly it was the first snow day NYC public schools had since the '70s. Even then, we had to sit in front of the TV and hope that the morning shows would announce the official closings.

Suddenly kids get preemptive snow days? WTF?

Blizzard of '96 was the first time the city shut public schools since the Blizzard of February 1978 .

whoah!! I remember the blizzard of '78! was in third grade at the time and had some damn good snowball fights. *sigh*

Thanks for the fact check!

I spent the day in Queens jumping off 2nd floor balconies into snow drifts that were 10 feet high with my friends. Then we hit Kissena Park for some awesome "sled on garbage can lids" action. Fun times.

I loved sledding in Kissena Golf course in '96. Second grade- good times.

I loved the blizzard of '96! I was in elementary school and spent the day sledding down the stairs of my building complex with all the other local kids; good times!

Crime rate must be down, or they are all locked up in Rikers. The reason NYC never declares snow days is that robbery, drug dealing, mugging and graffiti and gang murder rates will skyrocket that day. And working class parents will be pissed that they have to take a sick day to babysit their elementary kids at home.

OR, you're a dumbass and it's just that snow isn't a big fuckin deal.

you guys are insane. snow is bad.

Kreo...Why do you hate America?

Why do you hate FREEDOM?

lol

After last weekend's no-show, this one better be the real thing. 

Drew Carey is awesome, so it's a win-win for everyone!
