Rain, Not Sleet
Emergency mode should be reserved for....well....emergencies
The weather forecast called for "wintery precipitation" last night and today. While I don't mind schools remaining on the side of caution by delaying schools in the area, others have taken it too far. Most of the people in my office are "working from home" today, I guess so that they would avoid the weather. I came in earlier than usual today and when I got into my vehicle, I noticed that the "wintery precipitation" falling from the sky was in fact, rain. Just rain. Plus, the temperature was holding steady at 36 degrees, which my remedial understanding of science tells me is actually ABOVE freezing.
What I have learned from this is that people are just looking for any reason to shirk their responsibilities.
