One thing I am definitely appreciating in Cincinnati is the snow days. In highschool, we had an allotted number of snow days, or something, and the number was approximately zero. So, even on days when cars literally had to be dug out of the snow (Thanks, Laney), we went to school. Here, it snows and school is cancelled. Mmmm.
And they're not afraid to call it a snow day, either. None of this "ok, it might be snowing a lot, but school is cancelled because there is no electricity. this is not a snow day-- repeat-- not a snow day. it is a lack-of-electricity day" stuff.
Yay for cities where they don't have a secure plowing system. When it snows, it's this big scramble, like "where are the plows? do we own plows? do we have people to run them?" and so the snow doesn't get cleared for hours. I especially hated when we'd get like eight inches of snow, but it would come in the middle of the night and by the next morning all the roads were cleared. Boo, Minneapolis for understanding winter.
Yay Cincy, for not!
