No school because of the snow

The weather men had informed us that the beginning of the week would start with some snow. They had insisted that the snow fall would be considerable but nobody believed them as they hadn't been right about the snow in previous ocassions. However, on Sunday night it started to snow and continued all night. I woke up at a quarter past seven because I had to go to visit the doctor in the "Aliança" in Vic. When I saw the snow my mother told me that it would be better to not go. While I was having breakfast a friend called me and told me that there were no classes. She told me that the classes had been cancelled and that everybody was going home. She told me to go to the "Arboretum" because some of my friends were going there to play in the snow. All the school in Manlleu were closed and after midday it started to snow harder and the roads became difficult to drive on, so many people had to leave their jobs early to get home. Nobody realised how serious the situation was until Tuesday. A great part of Catalonia was without road communication, without electricity and below zero centigrades. I went to school on Tuesday morning to do an exam but when I arrived a teacher told me that I had to go back home because there was no school. Many studients were happy because they had two days off school and they were able to play in the snow. On Wednesday everything was back to normal and we had to go back to school ! : (
