Snowed In
Last week we've had one of the worst snow storms in a long while. Both University of Illinois and DePauw had to cancel classes for the first time in decades (1979 was the last time this happened at UIUC and 1976 for DePauw). One could do nothing but stay indoors, read, watch TV or engage in some similar wintry activity. The additional problem was the fact that snow was falling together with ice, so it was not possible to shovel it on one's own. We needed to pay the professionals to do it for us. Makes one wonder what happened to global warming. It is starting to increasingly look like false advertisement.
