January 2013 Just Your Average Snow Day In grade school‚ snow days were the absolute best part of the winter months and living in Missouri promised at least a few per year. One particular day in third grade stands out in my mind as the best snow day of all.

I understand that schools get closed due to snow all the time‚ but what’s peculiar is how much they get. “ I don’t want you all to be disappointed‚ but I doubt if there’ll be enough snow for a snowball.” (Lee‚64).
