You're thinking "Buddy, you live in Alaska. Of course it snowed. What the hell did you expect?". Well, I'll tell you. I expected 10 inches, 12 inches, hell, even a foot and a half. What I didn't expect was snow deep enough to close close school for 2 days.

2 days!

During my entire public school career, we didn't have a single snow day. Not one. Okay, so we lost a couple of school days to volcanic eruptions, but that was different--really different.  12:11:02 AM
