    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's cute. I wouldn't get the day off school in -40C with 3 feet of snow, but the world's most powerful government? Sure.

    They are still willing to play hookey when it's costing 100 million?

    Of course they are, it's the government.

    See: Parliament.

    I call bullshit on that. They received 90 cm of heavy wet snow from that one storm, which is a shitload of snow for anywhere. Most cities in Canada would have shutdown over less. Hell, Toronto would be calling in the military again.

    I wish that happened here in Toronto. I would love a couple snow days off work to go sledding or something. The last HUGE snowstorm I remember was back in '92 when I lived in Barrie. Almost a meter of snow overnight. Took a while just to get to the garage and get the shovels.
