Long sigh. The mornings you wake up when snow was predicted... and nothing! Then, a promising dark cloud makes its way onto the horizon.

Here's what I originally shared on LinkedIn:

It's Monday.

What does this #TeachedUpComic make you think about? Here are a few for me: 1) changes in the meaning of a snow day due to post-pandemic practices 2) this guy really needs _something_ - a change, a #mentor, _something_ - but I don't think he quite knows what it is he needs. 3) why does this fellow not have a decent brief-case or satchel for his graded papers? What is that, a Walmart bag?

What does it make _you_ think?

When snowfall is coming to Delaware (it's different by region, and I imagine by country), the school kids' attention is all towards the windows (except for the school buildings built in the 70s ...with no windows... in which case they're sneaking peeks at their phones' weather apps). The teacher's pretend not to be interested in an early dismissal, but they cast furtive glances at the sky, as well.

Ah, the joys of winter. You go in to work and leave it without ever having seen the Sun - the least you can ask for is an early dismissal due to snow now and again.
