I can confirm this is correct

Every time it snowed pretty hard we all sat there listening to the radio hoping for a snow day. Then we'd spend the entire day out in the snow or on the lake skating.

This is not a 'midwest' thing, it's a 'anyone who lived in the US where it snowed' thing.

Lol still look for it on the news

Well, I'm gonna get up for my run every morning anyway, so no point in knowing if I have school when i wake up. My sister however....

I remember waking up at 5:45 in the morning to check our schools' website to see if we had the "Snow day" alert. That was like 5 years ago though

How is this midwest? Same thing here.

I never had to endure the list as a kid. Then again, we never had snow days because I live in desert.

This could be referring to what is known as tornado valley which it pretty much the midwest

This is sort of like Canadian anger.

Yep...you know, just the other day my grandpa told me....lmao. So true

I like seeing cows on my travels too-oo-oo.

I think this is just Mid-wherever in the states

Wind changes everything when outside of the tropics

LOL

basically if you live in illinois, there's a reason everyone says they live in chicago. nobody remembers "JOLIET" and "ROCKFORD" off the top of their heads

Same ritual here in the uk but we say 'right then' as we slap our knees and rise out of a chair.

Oh geez... just realized I do the "sneak right by ya" much more than just at thanksgiving.

YES! or, who would clean all those windows?

Yeah, that's right. We had a snow storm in my city today that I felt yesterday. I live in Canada, by the way.

Although all my family is Dutch and still living in the Netherlands, we appear to be from the Midwest....

Not being able to have a conversation outside because of cicadas.

My brother does that too, particularly when it's freezing out.

Now from Chicago area, there are no miles, it is ALL by time. How far is it, is not answered "It is 3 miles away" it is "1/2 an hour".

It has occurred to me that American Midwest dads are similar to some Canadian dads. All of the above sound very familiar to me.

Minnesota the land for all the passive agressive

I grew up in Wisconsin. 50 degrees would be shorts and t-shirt weather. Now that I live in Arizona, anything under 70 is definitely hoodie weather.

I just did this 5 minutes ago.

That sounds like a dream.

I mean, we do bother clearing a spot in front of the drivers seat, and whatever side window/backwindow combo for whatever turn we plan on making.

Aussie here. Just converted these to Celsius and that's *really* cold! -20F = -28C (frostbite) 99F = 37C (gorgeous sunny day) 20F= -6C (unbelievable) 47F = 8C (still too cold)

I moved from Alaska to NC and was so confused when we had a snow day for snow that melted before the sun even rose.

I was holding the door for a dude at work and he decided he was going to be funny and start walking really slow. So I stood there holding it all the way until he got there and then closed it on him and walked off. The doors need a badge-scan to go through so not a big deal but it amused me.

Y’all midwesterners are powerful

yeah we wait until the first snow storm

i live at the end of a cul de sac, so the snow plower would never completely plow our section of the road. my dad would always curse the mayor out and try to fix our snow blower. 10 things flying at my face later, he finally started to shovel. needless to say some of my worst memories growing up have been commemorated with shoveling snow.

Did anyone else sing it?

I have a bag of bags!!! 😄

this is how all my conversations w/ my friends go-ope sorry yeah yeah no dude its fine noo but I'm sorry bout that I really am its fine its fine it was my fault no it was mine I said its FINE joe

My father used to drive the family to Toronto for summer vacation. He'd always brag about how he made it in under X hours and Y minutes, beating his last travel time.

Ahh, I remember those days...There was no school because the storm dumped loads of snow, but I'd get together with friends to play in said snow.

All there is is corn

We're is the person now that said it sounded Australian on other comments?

I am immune to everything!!

To be honest, that sounds like where I live. So, I can definitely commiserate.

Well there you go, I actually thought this was an Aussie saying!

I grew up in Michigan and moved to NY, I died a little inside when I finally had to start calling my pop soda because I got tired of explaining it, but they will never take my "opes" and whispered apologies.

Here in sodak, anything is possible. February and have had almost NO snow at all this winter

I love that smell

The complete saying is did you eat yet, "Jeet jet".

this is just my father- this is just midwesterners/northerners fathers
