On the last snow days of 2011...

Winter's last gasp has been very impressive this year! Just like the grand finale of a good fireworks show, there's been no quietly slipping away, fizzling out while people go, "Wait, was that it? Is it over now?" No, with over 2 1/2 feet of non stop snow in blizzard like storms that lasted several days, this year winter has made sure we know that it is putting on its biggest, best performance of the year!

Winter, we give you the standing ovation that you deserve!

But please, don't feel the need to favor us with an encore.
