Somewhat Important Note:

Due to the popularity of the blog, I receive numerous Facebook requests before potential snowstorms. Although I am flattered that you want to follow me on Facebook, I would ask that you not friend request me unless you know me in real life. It's nothing personal, I've just decided I don't want too many friends on Facebook.

Thanks, John

First Post

Random facts about Lake Orion snow days:

Number of snow days in the Lake Orion 2007-08 Snow Season: 7 (one of the highest totals in Southeast Michigan!)

Percentage of potential snow days I predicted correctly last year: 70% (14/20)

Pluses for snow days in Lake Orion: (1) Our local road comission doesn't work nights and weekends, sometimes allowing us to have snow days well after snowstorms hit. (2) There are still many dirt roads in Lake Orion which busses have to travel on, allowing for more snow days on days when these roads ice over.

Minuses for snow days in Lake Orion: (1) Snow days cost our school money, and since almost all schools in Michigan are short on cash, our school will try to keep school running as much as possible.
