So i woke up on Friday morning and flipped on the news, as I often do while sipping a hot cup of proper British tea. The weatherman was rambling on about snowfall up in the northern part of the state (for those unaware, I'm trapped in Arkansas and have been for the past 3 years). Being a Northeast Ohio native, I'm no stranger to snowfall. Once you've lived through lake-effect snow you are an official expert on foul winter weather. As this guy rambled on about how the snow wasn't sticking to the roads he mentions that everyone should stay tuned for the school closings (which numbered 15). I sat there with my mouth open as I pondered... "How do you close 15 schools when the snow isn't even sticking to the ground". Welcome to the South!
