My school is open today, although many others in the area are closed. People are outraged, but here's the thing: We go 8cm (3in) of snow overnight, it's not windy out, and city and school officials are getting the roads cleared with no problem. We go to school on days like today all the time, but people seem to think we shouldn't have to because of weather that was predicted (and never came). Time for everyone to pull on their big kid undies and grow up.
How's the weather in your area? And what did you do yesterday if you were snowed in?
Re: Ah, the Snow
However, it did take over 1.5 hours to get to work this morning and my boss is going to monitor the weather as the day goes on and may send us home. The weather is only suppose to get worse for us as the day goes on.

I agree though, I often think people just want to get out of work/school more than they are concerned about safety when there is snow. Just take your time and be cautious. I will say though...we are fairly used to it here - but I believe some areas caught in this storm are not used to snow at all. That would be a different situation all together.

I'm not at school though, I decided it wasn't worth the commute.

I just hate this city, the tv news tells people to take public transit if they can, then the radio says that public transit is cancelling routes so it is going to be a long wait. Then they say if you aren't an essential service to stay home. It is friggin ridiculous, I know for a fact that the person working retail selling luggage is not an essential service but they don't have sick days and if they don't show up the store doesn't open and they'll likely get fired. The city needs to step in and call it a snow day when people start saying crap like that. Plenty of people don't want to travel in these conditions, but having the choice not to is a whole other story.

It is seriously a big mind game. You know you are almost there, so you don't turn around, because it can't be THAT much longer. Oh, I wish! Then you lose an hour of your life to traffic that you'll never get back.
Although the radio played Lily Allen's Smile, which definitely made me smile.

It's kind of funny when it snows here because everyone is ZOMG SNOW! THE WORLD IS ENDING! And I'm all 'Dude, the sky just threw some dandruff on us it's not a big deal'. People be crazy down here.
We really did have great weather here last week. So warm! But at least this one didn't turn out as bad as the freak one in December that caught people off guard. As long as people are safe.
