that it can be really, really cold in one place, where it's normally really cold, while normally warm places can get snow?

yeah. Arizona has snow. but We don't. I wish we did.

not that we'd get a snow day out of it. three inches, and we'd still go to school. I hear that in the big cities, a light centimeter of snow is enough to close the schools. Not out here.

ya know, I don't know what it would take to get a snow day around here. We may just have to make one.

(but not until our senior year)
