I agree with everyone who says 2 snow days a year is absurd. And stay safe and warm to everyone during the latest snowpacalypse. All the posting so far sound extremely scary.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, plus isn't there some point at which, if a certain number of their students don't show up, they don't get paid by the state for the day?

The governor here just declared a snow state of emergency and has the National Guard on alert. My university is closed tomorrow, so I'm staying home. Yay!

Sail, what state are you in?
I just took the first batch of pumpkin cookies out of the oven and they are my best batch ever! My grandma would be proud.
I LOVE my new mixer!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The state of EMERGENCY, Erin!

Well, I went to the store tonight, it wasn't too bad. I got lots of good stuff in case I can't go to work in the morning. My boss commutes in from Baltimore, so if the weather is bad, he won't be in.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We all have a snow day and I have made about 7 gallons of chicken vegetable soup. We should be good.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I don't understand this declaring a certain number of snow days, and then saying they won't exceed that, no matter what the weather. In NC, they've exceeded their allotted number of snow days numerous times, because when it snows, we just stop doing all the things. And then the kids make the days up later, either on a holiday or a Saturday, or they end the school year a little later, I don't exactly remember because I don't have kids. But I know they've done it.
But we also cancel classes on the possibility of it maybe possibly snowing the next day, so, you know, YsnowpocalypseMV.

WI, Erin. Brand new governor feeling his oats. His state of the state address is tonight and I'm resolutely ignoring it because he is the biggest ASSHAT in the history of state politics.
Hil, that sounds pretty spiffy. I wish I was there to put a piece of cheese over it.
