Tell parents my assumption the night before, dad checks website early in the morn, sleep til 12ish, wake up, healthy breakfast of Pop-Tarts/sugary cereal, get mom to drive me, ski until last lift, get home at 10ish, sleep like I'm in a coma.
Mine when I was in school was get up, look at the glorious snow we receive twice a winter and go to school because we never had enough to get a fucking snow day.
Your doing it wrong bro, when I was in high school, on snowdays I would be up usually a little after six a.m., checking as soon as possible to see whether there was school or not. After school cancelation was affirmed I would wake up my brother, and then we would go shovel the driveway, (My dad wouldn't drive us unless we shoveled first.) And then we would annoy my parents until they drove us to the hill, usually getting there before first chair.
I Normally wake up at 6ish, My parents call for me to get up at 6:15ish. When I get up I first check my skylight. If it's blank white I will move on to the window behind my bed. If I can see what looks like 5-6 inches I attempt to open my door from my bed and look out the loft windows and off into the valley, seeing how coated the trees down where the school are.
After all that I just don't give a fuck and stay in bed until my parents make me get up. If they don't by 6:45 then I automatically assume it's a snowday, get up, browse the internet for a few minutes then go outside and have a good time.
back when i had snow days, a snow day meant 1-2" and a shit ton of black ice, making roads too dangerous for buses... not enough typically for shredding so... wake up
Coming from California, we don't know what snow days are. WSU (where I currently attend school) has cancelled class five times throughout school history.
