So yesterday it snowed and the school closed down.
Silly moderately-more-southern people, I thought. It is not even an inch of snow! You are like the little hobbits in Tolkien who declare it a holiday when there are snowflakes, only more panicky.
The next morning, of course, there is more like a foot of snow, or two. When I got out of my last exam I ran into a detour directing me to take a different door if I did not wish to die, because the snow on the roof half-froze into overhangs, and is now falling down in murderous giant chunks about the same size as me from great heights.
So my first thought was that they were perhaps right.
But then I realized they hadn't closed school today, when the assassination-aspiring roof ice was making attacks on innocent students.
Silly moderately-more-southern people who are more afraid of driving in snow than fatal ice drops!
