Spring?

Here it is nearly the middle of March and the first day of my spring break and it's snowing harder than I've seen all winter. It's our second storm this week. The first one was overnight Tuesday into Wednesday when snow fell on top of the rain which turned to ice as the temperature dropped. The university didn't cancel classes and a new, young professor died in a car crash on what I assume was her way to work Wednesday morning. It made the front page of the local paper. The university put up a condolence link that's already down. They tend not to cancel classes for bad weather since many students live in dorms on campus. What they don't seem to consider is that many students and faculty don't live near campus and have to decide if going to class is worth risking dangerous, icy roads.
