A winter storm is closing in on Houston, Texas, a part of the country that doesn’t get a lot of snow and ice. The result has been over-coverage by the local TV stations’ weather departments (it’s Emmy time!) and a flood of closings, the most visible being the schools and school districts that have completely called it a day before the day even started. Those who have lived in the northeast, where events are cancelled and schools are closed after the actual weather can be determined will find humor and irony in the fact that the closings below are based on the “prediction” of how bad the weather will be or might become.
Here’s the list–it’s a snow day for a lot of students, without, of course, the snow.
