Less Snow; More School For Students Before most students do any- thing on winter mornings, they tune to a local radio station to see if school has been called off. After the blizzard of 77 even an inch of the white stuff seems like a lot. With the first snow, no matter how small, mothers throughout the state break out the heavy mittens and snow boots. Mothers bundle up their offspring and send them out to face the cold winter weather and worse yet school. Before their re- turn, a must is to man the kitchen with hot chocolate and plenty of marshmellows. If the kids are lucky enough to have school called off many will go back to bed and get up at a later time. Then after a nourishing breakfast of Kellogg's Cornflakes they bundle up to face the cold and invade the great outdoors to participate in such winter sports such as tobaggoning or ice skating. This year kids all over Bar- tholomew County were disap- pointed with the weather being less severe. If the weather was not severe enough to call off the schools the superintendent would call for the express routes to be ran. This was a big disap- pointment to many high school students. Maybe with a bit of luck, next year will be a better year for snow. With the snow piled as high as a Volks- wagen, it took quite some time for the melt-down. Although most of the ground was still covered, patches of grass began show- ing through the snow during a spring thaw. 22 Weather

Bounding through the snow covered yard, even the dog expressed his feeling of joy toward the white stuff. Although low temperatures were re- corded throughout December and Jan- uary, this waterfall near Newbern seemed unaffected. Weather 23
