Snow days

And if you do not move it, that surface cannot be used until March or so. Look up "Sisyphus".

Hot feels nice sometimes, but 120 in the shade is brutal, I don't care if there's no humidity. When your shoe soles start to melt, you are in trouble. When it is real hot, you can remove clothes only to a certain point, and then what?

(I wonder: Do they close schools because it is too hot?)

This happened in your very own state ~2 years ago, Don (and yes, our school's website did say it was due to 'extreme heat')

Snow days are always a major inconvenience, but it's an obstacle that you just need to always have a plan for/expect to happen eventually.

I just hope that the snow won't stop FIRST from releasing an encrypted manual tomorrow..
