Living in Iowa, it is expected to have snow days during the winter season. Typically, the Des Moines School district will have 1 to 2 snow days during any given school year. Some years have less and some years have more, just depending on the severity of the winter.
This winter the Des Moines area has been hard hit with winter weather which has caused the Des Moines School district to cancel school 2 days in December and a whopping 4 days so far in January for a total of 6 snow days so far this school year. In the 15 years that I have worked for the school district, we have never had this many snow days. We will now to go school until June 16th (baring any more snow days).
However, given the extended forecast, nature is not working in our favor. We are aimed to be hit by another storm this weekend and then again possibly in the middle of next week.
