the extra 120 minutes ...

Here is what every Southerner you ever meet will readily admit to you ... we all lose our mind at the smallest threat of any type of winter weather. It is who we are as a people. It just is. For heaven's sake, most of us never even have to put up our flip flops in the Winter. How are we supposed to know how to put on snow tires & drive?

We are not equipped for snow/ice/sleet/coldness ... We didn't grow up driving in arctic conditions ... we are an ill-equipped folk!

One of the advantages of living in the South is the absolute fear we all have of driving in weather that is below 32* when there is even a remote chance of any form of water falling from the sky. Along with this fear come a handful of 2 hour school delays each Winter.  While some think it's ridiculous ... I feel that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of something or other.

I'm a big fan of the delay!

As a matter of fact, I have come to the conclusion that my life would operate much more efficiently if the entire world could just operate under a 2 hour delay indefinitely.  Who doesn't need an extra 2 hours in their life ... especially in the a of m??
