Same here in Charlottesville. In Albemarle county, with all the backroads, we miss school pretty easily. When I lived in Vermont though, we hardly EVER missed a day of school. They were always ready for snow. It could've snowed several feet, and my brothers and I would be waiting at the bottom of my driveway for the bus. In regards to the hurricane, i've only experienced Isabel, we got 40mhp winds and 70mph gusts, but that was the extent of that. We lost power for over a week. I'm so obsessed with hurricanes, and i've never even directly experienced one. Oh well.
