Snow (It's back!)

**SWVA-Football** · January 9th, 2007, 06:10 PM

Sorry to post this when there's another thread about the weather, but here in Coeburn the snow has started falling again!

Earlier today everything was covered, but just recently alot of it had dried up and it wasn't really doing much..

But now it's falling heavily, the yard is covered, the roads are starting to get covered, and the same amount of snow that I had on my porch when school was let out is now there again.

If it keeps this up, Wise Co. will be closed tomorrow, no doubt about it.

Anyone else in Coeburn getting heavy snow as well? How about you guys that aren't in Coeburn? How's it looking?

Its bad in most places, Norton is covered. I can only imagine what Wise looks like.

Probably about 1-1/2 inches in Pennington. Seen a report of 3-4 in Keokee. Heard on the scanner this morning about 9 or so, a report of 3-4 in Wise.

Oh well, I'm really anxious to see how this next system plays out, starting later on this week. Looks interesting, for now. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Those of us in school are pretty lucky because not only is this snow getting us out today and possibly tomorrow (even if not then, a 90 min. delay is still extra sleep for me!), but Monday we don't have to go because it's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

This week has ROCKED thus far! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

We dismissed at 9:30 and I didn't get home until 2:15. That ought to tell a story. My bus run is in Thacker's Branch, Needmore, and Dorchester. Myself and three or four other buses could not get out of Wise. We were turned back and told to return the kids to school. I took the Primary kids back to the Primary School and the rest to Addington Middle School. We stayed there and the Middle School fed us, until we were released to carry on. By that time, most of the kids had been picked up. Back when I was still teaching and even now as a Bus Driver, I tend to feel that, "Wise County likes to inconvenience as many people as possible." Some parents have to make other arrangements for their children to be taken care of when school is let out or we miss a day. Earlier decisions sometimes would be helpful.
