Seconding this notion, it also means that 397's plethora of college mentors (myself included) can all be there which RARELY happens.

Sadly snow days don't exist in the world of work of college. In college you MIGHT get lucky and have a prof cancel class but you usually only find out after you walk over there (in -9 degree weather) and then you have to walk back. Also work, no snow days. The day we got ~12" of snow DURING the work day was particularly bad. Our CEO sent out an email telling us to flee to our homes. Several of us hitched rides with others because our cars were stuck in snow drifts such as the 14+" one that was our drive.

These are some of the reasons I REALLY want to get out of the North. I am not a huge fan of snow or temperatures that make my skin freeze.
