'The shift was completely cancelled': Snow day blunder results in mass employee call-outs

Adults don't get to have snow days nearly as often as they should. 

Kids used to have snow days all the time in decades past. There was nothing better than the feeling of waking up for school to a blanket of snow coating every surface. In the past, you'd have to turn on the TV and watch the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen to find your school's announcement (but these days, there's an app for that). When you got to see the name of your school with the word "closed" next to it, it was time to jump for joy! You suddenly had an entire weekday to spend playing in the snow, making snow forts, and having snowball fights with the neighbor kids. 

As an adult, snow days look a little different. They involve cleaning off your car's windshield and shoveling your driveway enough to get your vehicle to the street. But imagine if you had a snow day where the weather was so bad there was no way you could get to your place of business. Then, you could spend the entire day curled up on the couch drinking hot chocolate while you watch the snow fall from your window. That is the kind of rejuvenating day we all need every now and then.
