Not to be smug, but...
(Clears throat. Taps mike.)
Is this thing on? Yes? Okay...
(To the tune of "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree")
I think that I shall never say
Two words as potent as "Snow day,"
Whose possibilities are outspread
Like finals hanging overhead
I normally scorn such wastes of time
Especially in this wintry clime
I'd rather have the school year done
And bask beneath the summer sun
But now I've got a nap to take
--Oh, hell! Until my children wake
Yes, there's the reason I'm so blue
My children got a snow day, too!

Very creative...Those of us in south Texas are still waiting for ours! I hope you enjoyed the nap.
Wonderfully done! I, too, am waiting for my first snow day. I will settle for a delay at this point. My kids had a delay on Friday, but my school was further south and we had rain.
This is EXCELLENT!
We didn't get "snow" days; we got "ice" days. A lot of our state is still in the dark (and cold). We're hoping that the days off from school will be forgiven, though - the state declared a "state of emergency" and a lot of kids don't have school because the buildings are being used as shelters. A few years ago, when we had some pretty devastating floods, the governor "forgave" two no-school days. We've had two days off before winter even officially began. If we keep going at this rate, we'll be in school through the Fourth of July.
I live for snow days. Today was a warm and balmy 63 - just not right.
I'm waiting and hoping...
Darn those snow days! They just don't seem to go the way you need them to go!
This is GREAT!
