Poor guys.

Props (obviously) to The News Hole for that find.

For days now, the weather forecasts have said there will be a blizzard today. When I woke up this morning the helpful weather person on TV said that the snow will start this morning, and that from roughly 3-8PM that we will have blizzard conditions, and that if you can avoid commuting this evening, that you should. The Weather Channel has sent a reporter here. Basically they’re (The Weather Channel) saying that conditions are going to be bad enough that they’ll put it on TV and people around the world will exclaim Holy ****, look at all that snow!

So naturally I’m at school right now. Sometimes I truly am amazed by the short-sightedness of beauracracy. Not that other people aren’t at work when they shouldn’t be, but there’s always such a hue and cry about the welfare of children, that you’d think a rational person would look at this and think that perhaps we shouldn’t put busses on the road during a blizzard.

(Naturally I’ll also admit that I’m looking out for my own interests, the interest I have in getting at least a partial day off. Still.)
