Snow Day?


It's the middle of winter. So far Melinda's school has not given one school day. Probably one of the reasons why is because she lives in Syracuse. This is because towns around Syracuse usually get an average of around 300-400 inches of snow a year. This means that they're used to having a lot of snow, so it's rare to get a snow day. I know this because I researched the top ten snowiest cities and a couple of them are within 20 minutes of Syracuse. Here is the website I used to find this information:

So, Melinda has just woken up and noticed when she looks outside, that they have almost a foot of snow! Instantly she thinks snow day, but nope, not in Syracuse. This makes Melinda very upset. As the rest of the day goes on, she keeps getting in worse and worse of a mood. Soon the day is over, but Melinda is still in a bad mood. She doesn't want to walk home in the snow so she decides to sneak into a closet near the girls locker room. For the rest of time, Melinda listens to the girls' basketball game as sits in the dark room alone. Soon the game is over and after everyone has left, she finally decides to go home.
