Well I really don't know. This is my first year in this school district, but when I lived in NYC and there was snow the schools up here seemed to close for barely any.

Remember we are from scandinavia. Here it is not uncommon with 6 feet of snow (not on the same day though). I still remember one year on our annual cross country ski vacation in Norway we had rented a cottage and when we arrived it was completly covered with snow (except a few inches of the chimney. We had to not just dig our way in but the cottage out of the snow :eek:
But then again this is Denmark and not Norway. We rarely have more than 5-10 inches of snow here and most of the times its gone in a few days. This christmas was white for the first time in perhaps 10 years.
Yes I have a feeling that spymac did this stunt just to be able to say "Hey we got HALF A MILLION visitors each day" to their advertisers. I asked for their rates and this is what I got:

Damn, why isn´t tha so here in Finland. School would be closed every other day :cool: , well not really.
I once heard this story about russia where schools were closed down because it was too cold (-50 celcius), boys were really happy that they didn´t have to go to school and went outside to play hockey. I found it a bit amusing.
I really only wanted to contribute to Frans prediction about postcount = mhz .
Right now, the only snow I see on the ground is the 5+ inches left on the pile of firewood. I think its the only snow left in Southern NH. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

Woah!! :eek: I'd go crazy with all that snow. I hate snow. This is the first time I'm actually praying for it.

7 in = 17.5 cm
Did you notice what 10 cm did in Athens (uh, the one not in Georgia) the other day?
At least it's not Buffalo, NY. I noticed that they got something like 24 inches in 24 hours. What's cool is, that's not even close to their record.
I'll just be happy with the blizzard of gadgets Steve throws at us. Or else I'm jumping over to the <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000661"; target="_blank">Boo Steve and the Segway He Rode On thread.</a> One or the other.

Gotta love N'awlins.
But I'm homeschooled so I think I could manage slipping away to watch some of the expo.
<strong>Post count ++, eh EmAn?
Well sorta I guess. What I said was "it's been almost a half hour and no new posts", but then after I posted that I saw the 2 new ones above mine.
BWWWHAHAHAHAHA

minimum G4 1200Mhz. Let superstition and other craziness rule supreme.
But you're right. I still predict that the speed of the new Macs will be the number of posts in this thread when the keynote starts.
