They came in anticipating the news - snow. There is a palpable excitement for what students feel is a stolen day. No where to go and a clean coverlet of white to disguise the scars of the urban landscape. Ahhh - Halo till their eyes fall plop,plop out of their heads. Some teachers are equally as excited. I must admit that I like snow days, but not too many since they eat into the clear, sunny days of June. I would also prefer a day mid-way between Winter and Spring Breaks. For now, hours before the winter deluge, (hyperbole, I know, but its been a bad snow year) I'll try to keep a level head and hope for a delay.
