Snow Day!

For most students across the state of Minnesota, today was a "snow day." School unexpectedly canceled due to bad weather and everyone stayed home. A free day. I loved these days when I was a kid.

Yes, 8+ inches of snow fell in the Twin Cities today. Unfortuanelty it caused absolute chaos on the roadways (even for us who are supposed to know how to handle this kind of weather). President Bliese and I were supposed to be at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., but getting there was impossible. We are sorry we missed an opportunity to be on that campus.

I live on the Luther Seminary campus, so my commute consisted of trudging through one bl0ck of deep wet snow. Though the Seminary did not close, most classes were canceled because many students and professors were unable to make it to campus.

Ahh, the joys of living in Minnesota.
