Because it is raining and under 32 degrees. It all started as a 2 hour delay then right before we left the house my mom saw that it said canceled.
I have to go to my writing class for about 5 minutes to turn in my final paper, then to my FYE class to take a joke of a final exam that's open-book/open-notes.
Actually, today is the last day of classes. I didn't realize that until earlier this morning. I keep forgetting that there are no classes once the first exam day starts, which is tomorrow.
Oh, and in high school, we never got the day off for that sort of thing. The road workers were always pretty fast in salting the roads once they started getting icy in the morning, not to mention that our school seemed to like taking risks.

Our school is cautious this year we had school on a snow storm a couple weeks ago, and a whole bunch of buses crashed and one fell in a ditch, and there were ons of people in ditches. So many kids came late that day.
Me too, I just have to finish a take home final that's due at 3:30, which I didn't do, so I'm staying home...
I skipped my English final. befuddlement

Because it is raining and under 32 degrees.
I most certainly will not reply to this post with a single smiley. I will write out sentences that explain why the bolded worth quoting.
You see, rain turns to freezing/frozen precipitation if the temperature is below 32. Therefore, it cannot be raining and below 32 degrees at the same time.
Thank you for your time, Boyah.

Not always. It's rained below 32 and it's snowed above 32 before.

What is high-salt content? Nonpure rain can still be liquid below 32F/0C

um most salt stays down when water evaporates. u ever do that experiment in like 4th grade?
thats why when your on a boat in ocean and it rains, the water is fresh water

ya is can when its a little above or a little below, but unless by "under 32" Xxhaunted meant "31.5 degrees", then it wasnt under 32 degrees or it wasnt snowing.

It can be even lower than that.

The entire atmosphere isn't a single temperature.

Maybe it's warmer in the upper parts of the atmosphere, and doesn't have time to freeze...
Nah.

Yes, I'm aware of freezing rain. :|
As you can see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_%28meteorology%29), freezing rain is classified as "freezing precipitation". Which I covered in my first post.

It's still rain. Freezing rain isn't frozen while falling. gb2Earth Science

punta tombo has a point.
We didn't have school today either, we got about 1 cm of ice and 6 cm of snow last night. It would be nice if we got another day off, but I doubt it will happen.
