In Youngstown, OH, we have the first snow day of the year. It must be because of icy roads. One local school declared it a remote day; another is opening two hours late. Party-poopers! I think when the schools are closed, every parent of those school kids should automatically be excused from work. While they're excusing those workers, all the businesses should close. Essential workers should get double pay for braving the roads. There's a lot of stupid drivers around here when the first flake falls. (And I spent the first 28 years of my life in Florida.)
