Katrina: To Snow Day — Or Not To

Facebook Friend Katrina wonders how school officials decide whether or not to call a snow day. She imagines this scene: “Whenever school officials wait until the last possible second to declare a snow day, I picture them cackling evilly to themselves in enjoyment of the thought of all those parents and kids getting up and getting ready and checking and rechecking the school closures list, hoping for a reprieve and not finding it until the moment they finally surrender and turn their thoughts to the day’s toil ahead. So cruel.”
