Before this winter began, many had predicted we would have a warm, wet winter. Gladly, they were wrong. Our area has already received a few different snow storms with one that even left four-five inches. This was a big surprise to many, proving the original predictions wrong. Along with the periods of snowfall, we have had to bear through weeks of well-below freezing temperatures. These periods of cold, along with the precipitation have created some extremely icy conditions and have made it very dangerous to travel some days. This has caused schools to shut down, leaving every student in the area ecstatic. New Hope Solebury has already had two snow days, two delayed openings, and one early dismissal.
This leaves plenty of time for people to enjoy winter activities:sledding, skiing, snowball fights or, the least enjoyable of the bunch, shoveling. Many students within New Hope-Solebury have used these snow days to visit their favorite mountains to shred the slopes. With our snow days being used up, however, consequences are arising. The school has already used up its two built in snow days meaning that the next day off will result in the loss of one day of Spring Break. Then from that point on all snow days will then move back graduation. With all of this in mind many students are left wondering whether or not the sight of glistening snow flakes falling from the sky is a beautiful sight or one that they soon will dread.
