it feels like its gonna snow outside, ya know.

I am praying it does

I bet everyone is already running around going "I heard it was going to snow 8 inches". [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

I already got the ladies downstairs in a tizzy LOL
"milk and bread milk and bread! We'll never get to work tomorrow!"

It's always amusing to see everyone run around like that and then afterwards get mad when it didn't happen like they thought it would. Of course that's of one the reasons some think the weatherman is always wrong, which makes it even better, haha.

I hope it don't...lets get the school year over and done with!!!
