Freud Would Have a Field Day (or) Freud Would Have a Snow Day

So, at this point most of you are aware that recently, our friends in the Mid-Atlantic states got a little dusting of snow. The highways, the schools, and even the Federal Government have declared Universal Snow Days, with Senators and Congressmen whizzing cheerfully down the Capitol Mall in makeshift sleds drawn by teams of aides.

Well it's snowing here now, so maybe you'll see some soon.

I'm secretly glad we didn't get a snow day, as I was home sick anyway.

Also, I feel obligated to point out that the Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia, not DC.

I was including Philadelphia in the whole "Mid-Atlantic Corridor" thing. After being in 1776 in High School, I am almost cruelly aware of where every landmark is in Philadelphia...

But yes, the sentence is totally misleading.

Fear not. Please consider this a pedantry safe space, where you may niggle and nitpick at will. I bask in the glow of it.

BU sent us home at 2pm. That's right. Someone said, "Gee, I don't know. Let's wait until tomorrow and see what the weather looks like, and then send people home." Except what they meant was, "Ok, it's the night before. Let's decide right now to call a snow day tomorrow at 2pm so that people come in and then have to leave early, and also let's not tell them until 1:25pm. Also, let's make sure we don't look out the window or anything because we might see the rain." If ever there were an appropriate time for the term "facepalm," it would be now.
