Westside- 4+ inches of snow = SNOW DAY!
Eastside- 4+ inches of snow = Leave earlier to go anywhere and dress your kids in their snowpants to send them to school
Westside- people driving slow = being careful
Eastside- people driving slow = they didn’t invest in snow tires
Westside- snow on the driveway = “Hey hon, do we own a snow shovel??”
Eastside- snow on the driveway = “Hey hon, get me my Carhartts, I am going to go snow plow the driveway!”
Westside- Snow + wind = Stay inside
Eastside- Snow + wind = Bundle up and get out there
Westside- Where is that one scraper tool thing?
Eastside- Everyone who knows anything has the full length scraper with brush on the other end
Things I am learning living on the Eastside:
· All kids wear snow pants to school
· All kids wear snow boots to school (pack your tennis shoes)
· Kids play outside at recess unless it’s below 20 degrees
· Snow blowers have lights on them, so you can work all day and then go snowplow, because you have to go to work in the morning
· No one cancels anything for a measly 10” of snow…
· Snow plow truck drivers are efficient and they drive about 40mph as they do their job
Hi cousin Crystal! Have you read the beautiful nonfiction children's book, Recess at 20 Below? It is just the right age level for your kiddos. I'll bet the public library has a copy if the boys' school doesn't.
