No school here, not sure if we got any more snow though. Wasnt snowing when I went to sleep, or all of yesterday (they called school off today, and yesterday, boy I'm lucky).

Cheers,

Yeah, mattman you're teeth will really hurt. And for the next, minimum one year, you'll be picking food out of your braces for hours.

Anyway, I only have a 2 hr delay today, but I had the past two days off.

I had my braces on the day before my hols also . I had a removable one before these perminant ones. I have to say I prefer perminant, removable ones just get clogged up with crap so badly. Oh yeah, I've got to get the top and bottom ones tightened tomorrow, I'll be able to join Mattman eating soup and bananas (that's if it's not another snow day ).

On my second snow day in a row which is really amazing. Our school is notorious for always being open so it's a big thing around here.

It snows once a year usually... sometimes . And then usually it's only a sprinkling. But it is 2 years in a row we've had decent snow. I'll find last year's post...

http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=5189&b=2

That was on the 30th, around the same time. Seems the same thing happens (Spooky ).
