This might be nuts. But there are few things I find more beautiful than the night sky in a city during or right after a snowstorm. It's always this unnaturally bright purple, probably from all the artificial light reflecting off both the clouds above and the snow below.

I think I like it even more than the magic of the snowfall itself. And only a bit less than the droning of snow numbers on the news radio station.

Both of which are miles better than shoveling the sidewalk and brushing off the car, of course.

No, I'd never heard of them. In New Jersey I lived in a very small town. All closings were notified by a phone-tree from the PTA. In Florida, hurricane closings were all done uniformly by county. (Which made it not rare for someone's backyard to be under alert but their street address to have school. South Florida's funny that way.)

[In Utah we were a boarding school so we had school even when we didn't have power. In North Carolina we had delayed opening school, but nothing more, which was notified by phone calls and yours-truly (that is to say, house-parents) going bedroom to bedroom.]
