Snow day!

[rivka]

There's about four inches of snow on the ground already, and it's snowing steadily. The Weather Channel is predicting a total accumulaton of 8-12 inches. The roads are a mess, and commuter rail is running at least an hour behind and canceling trains due to frozen switches. The clinic, needless to say, is closed. curiousangel's office is technically open, but they're not expecting him to show up.

Snow day! I feel like a little kid, except that my mother isn't calling me to come out and help shovel the driveway so my dad can go to work. Somehow this is a lot more fun than an ordinary holiday. I want to go out and build a snowman.

Okay, *where* are you from again? Because you can't possibly be from central New York, with that attitude. ;-)

No, no, no. Because they're terrified of snow here, and they don't have a lot of snow removal equipment, and no one knows how to drive in snow, it is needless to specify that in the case of moderate snowfall, government offices will be promptly closed.

(I admit it, if they got a foot of snow in one day *here*, things would be a little chaotic. But this Michigander would laugh at them.)

I don't want to drive on unplowed roads with a bunch of amateur snow-drivers. I might laugh at them for panicking when there's only a few inches of snow, but I'll still stay safely at home.
