Jason Kirk @jasonkirk.fyi · 10/01/2025Getting texted about school cancelations 24 hours in advance is better than sitting in front of the TV two minutes before the bus might arrive, while hoping to see your county’s name appear in the slow-ass crawl on the news. But where’s the drama 2999954
ShayTheMom @shaythemom.bsky.social · 10/01/2025We got the call/text/email at 505am this morning that school was going to be virtual this morning. Glad they're off but I HATE being woke up at 505am. 000
🎶not bronsautracks🎶 @bronsautracks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025For me it showed up when the power went off right as I was meant to be getting dinner on the stove. All dark all cold all drama with a 3 and a 5 year old crying in the dark and having to convince my spouse that resting a candle on the carbon monoxide alarm to use as a hallway light was a bad idea 🥹 020

Sickos Committee @sickoscommittee.org · 10/01/2025Is this why they still measure first downs with chains? 0260
AngryHoss @angryhoss.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Northerner Boomers know that anticipation, but it was the radio, listening to the Snow day Auctioneer rattle them off In those days, they didn't even go alphabetically, they went FIFO 001
Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 10/01/2025that’s why Georgia has so many counties, for the suspense 3660
Sean Spencer Blues Explosion @proprietarysean.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It was the worst when you'd turn on the tv and see the crawl was just after where your school would be, so you'd have to sit and wait for it to circle back around 0120
Dubs @rockydubs85.bsky.social · 10/01/2025There was nothing more thrilling as a child than listening to local radio and hearing “we have some updates to our school closings,” hoping yours was one of them 091
mochatruck.bsky.social @mochatruck.bsky.social · 11/01/2025slow-ass crawl in alphabetical order? Son, let me tell you about radio. 000
Pope Laneus @laneus.bsky.social · 10/01/2025At least snow days survived covid. We are so close to the timeline where remote learning eliminated them all together! 100
The Green Witch 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 💙 🐈 🐕 🌼 @guineys-mom.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Or listening to the radio waiting for your school's name to be called. In my day, we walked a mile to the bcanceled. Skirts or dresses only to stand there forever, only to realize the bus wasn't going to come because school was canceled. 000
EIC @eicol.bsky.social · 10/01/2025I've lamented that my kids will never know the agony of waiting for the local radio station to go through every town. Mine was second to last alphabetically in the area. I'd hear a dozen schools announced before mine was skipped over. 090
Withapee Aitch @withapeeaitch.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Or popping on your little AM radio to listen to them rattle off school codes like an auctioneer on meth. 040
Rob Trishman @rtrishman.bsky.social · 10/01/2025One religious school's name in my area meant you saw the following phrase on TV ... "Gate of Heaven: Closed" 0170
seamiracles @seamiracles.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Or the radio. They didn't go in alphabetical order!!! 000
Patrick Lindsey @patricklindsey.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Or watching the bottom line on the news go around and you had to wait for your county to come in alphabetical order 020
Logan @lvansandt.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Best part of going to a school named Adrian, right at the front of the list 040
Remember That Guy? @rememberthatguy.bsky.social · 10/01/2025this is the only retvrn i actually believe in 020
Rocky Winston @rockywinston.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Grew up in Ohio and each county had tons of separate school districts and private schools. My school district started with a V, so if bar was at the beginning of the alphabet then it would take awhile. 020
George S. @baldy515.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Uncle Joe's Tot Locker is always so far down the list too. 000
Queen LII @nolasue.bsky.social · 10/01/20251/3 of the time my mom would make me walk to the bus stop and wait "just in case". Vividly remember wading through a blizzard, only for the bus to never come. And then getting yelled at for coming home. 050
Banach Space Program @banachspaceprogram.bsky.social · 10/01/2025When I was in HS, we had a "it is too cold" day on the last day of exams before Christmas. Our principal at the time had said "if an exam day is cancelled, it means I'm dead." The radio DJ ran through all the cancellations, including the diocese. (1/2) 130
