So I’m assuming most people in the affected areas have free time now due work getting shut down…

So, how’s life?

But since the how is asked, why is life? what is life? when is life? who is life? … okay enough existential crisis…

Really, how is life?

    It’s snowing. Not as cold as it was yesterday. The sidewalk and driveway will need to be snowblown, but I don’t even know where I have a winter coat — my fifteen year old tends to borrow them and lose them in her room. It’s warmer than it was yesterday which is good because we had some pipes freeze — nothing frozen today.

    I don’t work Sundays barring some kind of emergency, but I work from home so this won’t change that picture at all unless we lose power or internet. Kids are in online school so this is just going to be normal life. But then also this is Michigan and five inches of snow isn’t exactly unprecedented. We normally get this once or twice a year, although the last several years have been pretty mild.

    I’m with you in missing the days when this was exciting. Snowmen and snowball fights and days off of school were kinda awesome.

        I asked a coworker about this recently, but for a traditional school.

        If the snow is reasonably predicted, the teachers will prepare a lesson plan to have classes online. If there is a sudden emergency, they will not have a lesson plan ready for online classes, and school will just be canceled (i.e. a snow day).
