Can we just declare a snow day and all meet up somewhere?

It's 10:30, and I haven't lifted a pencil yet. I just keep staring out the window at the snow and checking the message boards.

Why don't adults get snow days?

Damn, is it snowing? I live in the financial district, a cliff dweller if you will and it always looks grey out my window. I desperately need a snow day. I would give anything to shovel a driveway or two for cash and come home to some hot tea and almond cookies!

I'm in. Let me know where and when. I work in Jersey City, but I can be in lower Manhattan in 10 minutes, midtown in 20.

Oh, Reg if only I could!! My daughter was going to rush Spring Awakening today. Thank God she was still sleeping when I crawled into work. I ,too, am staring out the window watching my car get buried.

There in Suffolk County and they have five inches of snow out there.

I slept in really late (day off!) and when I woke up and checked my facebook status, everyone was updating about the snow, so I was like, "Aaaah it's nice to be inside," and I crawled back under the covers :P

Are you sure that's snow?

Or has Reggie been liberal with the talcum powder again?

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/15/09 at 3:04pm

Not much snow left. the sun came out and it's practically all gone.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 1/15/09 at 3:06pm

I'll have you know my talcum powder stays exactly where I put it.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 1/15/09 at 5:22pm

Zip it Masie! I would love it to be 60 and sunny!

I'll switch places with you!

Ive seen snow 7 times in my life, and I'm 18

I thought adults did get snow days in America. Not all of America, and not every time there's a flurry, but if there's enough snow to prevent you from getting to work, surely that counts as a snow day? :P
