Until this winter CCHS students often complained about the lack of cold weather and snow in Culpeper. “Why can’t we ever get snow and get out of school?” or “It’s been so long since we’ve had snow. I’ve forgotten what it’s like!” This winter proved to be as fierce as predictors had forecast, and the students, as well as the facid- t , of CCHS enjoyed their extra holi- day. During the month of January, 7 days were missed because of hazard- ous roads covered witli snow and top- ped off with ice. Temperatures below zero caused a fuel shortage, and schools closed dur- ing February. Actually the whole town “closed”, because a blackout was feared if ev ' eryone didn’t con- serve. Icy roads prevented too much traveling, so students were more or less stranded at home. To be stranded at home certainly wasn’t what man ’ had in mind for a vacation, but stu- dents found that cold weather and snow could be lots of fun. Ice skating, sleigh-riding, skiing, and just frolick- ing in the snow kept snow-bound stu- dents entertained. As a result of missing so much school, students then complained that they’d nev ' er get out for summer vaca- tion. It’s true that some people jusi can’t be satisfied.
