Snow Day!!!!

Ah, snow storms in St. Louis. It's part winter wonderland, part Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Snow always turns marginally bad drivers into complete lunatics who either do 15mph or 70. And don't forget the slamming of the brakes and the inevitable slide through stop signs.

My favorite is the news coverage of the snow storm, especially by Fox 2. Every snow storm is a momentous occasion that occupies 90% of the program. Luckily, Inauguration Day didn't occur during an ice storm, or Obama's oath would have been interrupted to let you know that MODOT has run out of salt.

Anyways, I'm taking a snow day to avoid the mess and watch stupid movies. This is the life.
