believe it or not (i learned this while listening to the radio) that they started this way back when, because it is flu season and to give everyone a week to rest. the kids have another week in april too

Oh wow that is kinda cool really! I would love that...we're on a trimester schedule here and the middle one is always worse for both my kids, especially Dakota. Between her asthma and sinus problems and picking up every single thing that goes around she stays sick.

the kids up here start in September, they have a week (or so) off at Christmas, a week in February and a week in April (right around the Boston Marathon time) and they get out of school in mid June (unless there are snow days then they have to go a little longer)

Ah, we go mid August to hmm, I think last day of school is June 11 or 12? (somewhere around there anyways.) 3 weeks at Christmas, 2 for spring break. I think I'd rather give up a week of spring break for a week of flu prevention. That is really nice.

LOL Beckie, right down to the 52 degrees! The wind has picked up. Despite what the temp says it is an icy cold too. I still have the heater on and its rare for me to leave that on once I take the kids to school.

With the temperature at 79º this afternoon, I turned on the air conditioner just to move some air around, because it felt stagnate. Still can't open the windows to air the house due to the cedar pollen lingering outside. Wanted to go to Arkansas to see the grandkids this weekend, but they told us that cold white stuff is still dusting the yard. Nah, I'll wait.

Pretty cold again and very windy tonight. The snow flurries are whirling around, but nothing seems to be sticking...so far. I just saw that there is a lake effect snow warning until 2 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, with a possibility of 2-4 inches and in some parts 6 inches. Doesn't feel like spring yet, even though the big St. Pat's day parade is on Sunday and Easter's almost around the corner!

Awwww I haven't heard the term lake effect in ages, I miss it. I grew up in Chicago, I remember sitting around waiting to hear how much lake effect we were going to get, when I left the area, people made fun of me for calling it that. Plus, the St. Patty's Day parade, oh man the memories, why are they doing it this weekend instead of next?

Stacey, they don't want it to coincide with Holy Week.

South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade to roll a week early
Event moved up to avoid conflict with Palm Sunday

By Tina Shah | Tribune reporter
5:54 PM CST, February 22, 2008

Chicagoans will get a chance to don their green spirit—shamrock T-shirts and green plastic top hats—at the South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade a week earlier this year.

The parade in the Beverly neighborhood will be held March 9 so it does not conflict with Palm Sunday, said Annie Coakley, a parade committee member. The parade usually is on the Sunday before St. Patrick's Day.

The popular parade, which attracts more than 300,000 people from around the nation and few around the world, travels on Western Avenue between 103rd and 115th Streets.

We're getting a lot of snow today. TV is showing closings for this weekend and most everything is closed. The snow has been coming down pretty steady since late afternoon and its still snowing now.

We got some snow last night but not as much as Sajo and Twinkie. We are just on the tail end of the north part of the system. We are go get a bunch of snow and blowing snow later this afternoon and into this evening.

Yes, Half, it was pretty, for about an hour. It's STILL snowing and I think we're up to about 11 inches with about 5 more to come. The winds are terrible and you can't see across the street. But, we're all safe and that's the important thing. I hope you and Twinkie and anyone else getting this is safe too.
