"Yay! Snow day!" That was my first reaction when I received the call from Dr. Epperson. I mean, who wouldn't want a day off school?

A snow day is pretty much an unexpected extra weekend day. I can do whatever I want and sleep in as late as I want. Cooking? As long as I don't make a mess. Reading? Go ahead. Surf the Net? If there's no blackout.

I love snow, a lot. I also like having unexpected days off of school. It’s always nice to get a break when you don’t know it's coming. So put the two together and it should be amazing, right? Sure. Snow days are pretty great during the snow day. But after that, it means having to go later in the year to make up the missed days.
