ZebraTiki,

I feel ripped-off regarding those alleged snow-closing days. My mother claims that when she was a child, they did have snow-closing days. By the time I was in middle school, the climate had changed enough that we did not get enough snow to close school for anymore. We, however, did have extremely-cold temperature days where they shut the schools down. Those days sucked because if it was too cold to walk to school it was too cold to play outside. And if it was warm enough to play outside, it was warm enough to go to school!

I suspect there is some truth to your biological theory because I am the happiest on the hottest days of the summer whereas my wife suffers. Neither one of us care for the extreme cold days but she definitely likes winter more than I do.
