Ice Storm Alert

It's not even raining yet, and all the schools are cancelled.

Growing up on the northern-most edge of a county in Maryland, I'm biased by years and years of waking up to: "Yesssss!!! It's SNOWING!!!" followed soon after by the sinking announcement of "Montgomery County schools are *open and *on-time" [*two words I now loathe].

During my three-year tenure with Houston schools, I never once enjoyed the Texas equivalent to the snow day, the "flood day." The Flood Days I get, because there's all this water and no place for it to go, and what can you do but sit in your car and wait?

So, in sum, I think you all are being a little silly. Just throw down some sand. It's not like we don't have sand on hand: there's a beach not 45 minutes away. And that is the end of my cold weather superiority post; I hope I don't die on my way to work tomorrow.
