Cancelled classes? Puh-shaw! I went to school in Michigan, on the west side, so we got 'lake effect' snow from Lake Michigan. We'd have 2 feet drop overnight and just get in however we could. They did cancel classes my sophomore year, but that was because a cold front came through and it was -50 degrees outside and we couldn't walk to class without getting frost bite! I had a friend who went to Michigan Tech (way up north), and they had a square that normally took about 3-5 minutes to cross. In the winter, with snow piled up and blowing like crazy, it could take her like 25 minutes!!! That's some serious snow!!!
I also hate when people get all crazy driving because of a little snow. If people would not get so freaked out, there wouldn't be so many accidents. If you have anti-lock breaks, DON'T pump them! If you don't have anti-lock brakes, pump them SLOWLY! It's not that hard folks!!!!!
Although I am sure all of these smart GCers know how to use their brakes!!
