Southwest Kansas is on a winter storm watch, which means we are expecting arctic weather and an immense amount of snow. Could this mean a four day weekend for Holcomb High School?

Starting on Friday, according to Apple Weather, there will be a 50% chance of snow with a low of 4 degrees, Saturday has a 70% chance of snow with a low of 1 degree, and Sunday has a 40% chance of snow with a low of -2.

Mattea Kennis, senior, said if we have a four day weekend she will stay home, finish any homeworks, chill, relax, and live her best introverted life at home. Would anyone be sad to miss school? Mattae said, “No, I don’t think anyone would.” When asked if the weather would limit what she could do, she said, “It would give me more freedom and I’d be able to go out when I like, and it’s more safe not being at school during those temperatures.”

Clara Burchell, senior, said she will stay inside and spend time with her family if we have a four day weekend. But would this valedictorian hopeful miss school? “It depends on what days I would be missing, but since it’s Friday and Monday it wouldn’t bother me.” When asked if the weather would limit what she could do, she said, “Yes it would, I would have to bundle up to go outside but there is also a chance of power outages.”

Mr. Schreibvogel, science teacher, said he would play Halo, take care of his sick wife and enjoy his time at home. When asked if he would be missing out of school he said, “Everyone likes a free day, so no I would not.” He said the weather would limit what he’s able to do because he has to work this weekend, so the snow would not be ideal and it’s very unsafe.

So the question is, will we have school tomorrow? Will these frigid weathers keep us home? Either way make sure to stay warm and stay safe.
