Today was to be the worst weather event since Hurricane Isabel in 2003. The weather guy said tides and pounding rain were going to swamp the Hampton Roads area. So I was ready...I had my coffee and a good book. I had my jammies and my blanket ready. I turned on the news to watch the closings scrolling across the bottom of the screen. Oh good! Poquoson is closed, and my school district is right next door. Wow, Virginia Beach is closed, and they NEVER close for anything! Next on the ticker, I see Chesapeake, then Norfolk, then Suffolk, then Portsmouth. Pretty soon, every school district on the Southside and on the Peninsula EXCEPT Newport News. Pfft! I got dressed, just in case. My heart was soon broken...I ended up GOING TO SCHOOL! I had only 11 students show up for class. It turned out to be a game day, which was good for team buiding.
Seems tomorrow we are starting the day with a 2-hr. delay.
I am loving the weather, though. Lots of rain and wind. Just my cup of tea.

Doesn't that just stump you when you seem to be the only person on the planet having to brave harsh storms and everyone else is gettin' a day off?
The opposite was the case for the snow storm that just blew thru here in the high country (see the following post). The University closed early on Monday, but the city school system stayed open for the rest of the day (except they announced that concerned parents could pick up their children early if they wanted to)! That was just bass ackwards from what usually happens.
Sometimes you just can't figure life out.
