[blparent] Momories

[Pickrell, Rebecca M. (TASCSD)]

I live in Nothern VA, an area that can'd handle snow. 
So, any snow prediction is an event, with much hope for a school
closing. 
Whenever we were supposed to get snow, and didn't, my dad would say "The
snow is deep.. For an alligator."

So did you tell them that there will be a second Tuesday of next week
when there's a dry frost and it clears up cloudy?
I used to have a neighbor who told me that all the time.
