Today's Random Good Thing...

Snow days.

I don't get them myself.  I'm considered 'essential personnel' at the university and have to report for work, even when the place is shut down.

And, it wasn't today...

But the local schools had a snow day.

For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, snow days are the result of snow storms, which make traveling to and from school too hazardous for the students, so school is cancelled for the day.

What could possibly be good about such a thing?

In the last 24 hours, we've received almost 6 inches of snow.

This area depends on winter sports for a large portion of income for a lot of folks and up until today, we've had almost none of the fluffy white stuff...
