Snow day!

Some of us have been secretly (or [not so secretly][1]) hoping for a snow day. Well, we got one! As of 4:00 PM today, the North Central College campus is [closed][2] through tomorrow night. I’ve heard rumors of the school closing due to weather in the past, but until now I’d never witnessed it myself. North Central College has a reputation of staying open in treacherous weather, but I guess a [blizzard][3] [warning][4] can convince even the most hard-line of NCC’s higher-ups to shut things down. It looks like this one might be a [record-breaker][5], so that’s probably a wise choice. (Personally, I’m cool with the snow. I just hope the power stays on at my house.) Well y’all, keep safe and warm over the next couple of days, and enjoy the snow!
