And the first school closes for snow ...

[Midget Man]

I am loving the school's poem, just brilliant

I have looked on our CC's website and no detail's of school closure's have been added, although I don't think we were expecting to be hit as hard as we have! Earlier on it was just light snow and now we have joined alot of you into the red zone

kids are going to have great fun but doubt we will be moving on Sat

An early poetic contribution from a Bucks school:

The snow is falling fast and swift
And into large piles it has drift
The answer to the question posed;
'Yipee, yep, the school is closed!

Sally Anne, you beat me to it! I was just about to post this.

No doubt there will be whoops of joy at any closures this week, not so those of us who have children sitting exam modules next week as we've been told we have to foot the bill for the resits if they can't make it into school, even if the school is officially closed and there is no transport. Anyone else think this is a bit harsh?

[Ed's mum]

From a point of ignorance (mine that is) it DOES seem harsh Marylou.

[Hope]

I think that is harsh, especially if the school is closed and there is no transport!

[Sally-Anne]

He's back with a vengence, Sally-Anne!

And another one ...

No yippees are allowed,
When the sky is full of cloud!
It saddens me to have to write,
That due to snow on our site,
PRS is closed today.
And tomorrow? Who can say!

And another

School is closed because of snow,
Children will be sad we know,
So get out snow boots, sledge and skis,
But do keep checking this web-site please.

My sister is snowed in.

That's outrageous, I'm quite worried too as we have modules next week, surely though the snow will have gone by then? My daughter is in year 13, and she is not going to want to resit 2 modules along with her final ones in June, the whole point being to spread the workload Although I have to say, I wouldn't want to be out driving today, where we are we probably have around 7 -8 inches and it ain't stopping yet. Now where are my skis...I need some food and I forgot to join the panic buyers clearing the supermarkets yesterday

Our snow has been here since 17th December and shows no signs of disappearing yet - it may well still be here next week, the met office say the cold is going to be around for a few weeks yet!!
