No Snow Day for You!

This seems a little harsh. After all, the city of Washington D.C. was pretty much completely shut down for almost 5 days; transit wasn't back to full capacity for a week and some areas didn't get plowed at all until after the end of the second storm. I know that in Delaware, the highways were littered with stranded motorists trying to drive through the storm, and it kept the National Guard occupied for quite some time. I would hope that where a reasonable effort was made, and a good excuse exists, some leniency can be applied
