Down here in Illinois we start in late August. We got 14 days for Christmas this year (although we usually get 12) We only get a good spring break if we don't use any snow days, and due to Illinois winters, and the wimpiness of the faculty(who for the most part lives right in town, doesn't get all of the wind right along with snow like me out in the country), we rarely use no snow days at all unless it's a very mild winter. One thing though, train watching is better in winter here-I can just walk half a mile through some fields, then you're right by the KCS's St. Louis Sub. There's practically no good railfanning spots here that are along a road or any public place. About all there even is in town are a few sidings to the grain elevators and an anhydrous tank, trains rarely stop here except for a few night-time locals every couple of weeks, most are run-throughs bound for St. Louis. So there goes any chance I have of getting a KCS cab ride.[sigh]
