Snowpocalypse

As the second Fimbelvetr sets in, I thought I should comment on the irony that several days after deciding I should in fact keep a log of the events of my career in education, that career should be brought to a sudden and snow-covered end by the coming of Ragnarok, signaled by the endless winters. What other explanation could there be, I ask, for a record breaking snowfall to be shortly followed by a snowfall that any other year would be called "ridiculous"? None other explanation is what. To be fair, however, Mount St. Mary's had a half day today and my sister even drove to her riding lesson. Upon informing her that I had off all week from both Loyola and Howard County (not officially, but practically), she just smiled and said "not for the little school that could". So congratulations, Mt. St. Mary's College. You made sure that despite probably every single school in Maryland being shut down today, somebody was going to learn something no matter how many metric tonnes of snow they had to tunnel through.
