Snowpocalypse Now

 So this is my first post in a while and my first post of 2018, and it is address a specific issue.

As I speak, the East Coast has been rocked by what the weathermen call a "bomb cyclone". What it means, I don't know or really care to know; if they had just said "big snowstorm" it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

That is not the issue I have.

The city of Tallahassee, Florida, due to this storm, received the first snow that it had seen since 1988, coincidentally, the year of my birth. The predicted total for the city was about 1-1.5 inches of snow.

This was their reaction

They closed the schools. For one inch of snow.

I'm sorry. I know you haven't seen snow except on television or the movies, but closing the schools for 1 INCH OF SNOW!

Now their argument is probably because since they don't get snow all the time, they aren't prepared to deal with it.

And while that may be valid, I find it hilarious.

This state deals with hurricanes and tropical storms, most of which is consisting of rain AKA water AKA H2O.

What is snow? WATER AKA H2O.

I just find it funny that they are prepared to deal with one menace but once it changes clothes, they are scared.

"We aren't scared of rain and water, we deal with it all the time!" to "OH MY GOD, IT CHANGED INTO SNOW! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

What do you think?
