It sucks out there. Shoveling I mean. Don't know about the roads, not gonna try them today. Our street got plowed sometime in the night so its fine. Hopefully we don't get much more. Then again it is pretty. Reminds me of when I was little. My mom would be shoveling and my sister and I would be making little forts for our Beanie Babies! Great fun!!!

No reason for the mall or any other business that opens later in the day to close. The snow is about done. Most streets are plowed. Now school, I can see being closed today, but still disagree with last Thursday. Espceially since they only get 1 snow day a year. In Wisconsin administrators have to know that its going to get a lot worse that what we got last week, for example, Today!!

Just heard on Channel 27, Janesville mall opens at 9am like usual, East and West Towne open at noon.

I doubt the mall will close 6 days before Christmas, but I guess crazier things have happened.

What amazed me was that so many businesses closed even before the snow started falling. I've never seen that. Luckily, I stocked up on Diet Sunkist yesterday.

Is the mall closed or delayed? I don't want to go into work today :) I'm not seeing anything about the mall being closed and am surprised that they'd stay open in these conditions. Has anyone seen anything?

We have to make this day up, and any others after this. The calendar allows for one snow day, and that was last week on Tuesday.

How many snow days does Janesville district allow before they do makeup days?
