Another Southern California Oddity
I have recently learned that when a (pre)school here has a designated "snow day," it does not -- as in other, normal areas of the country -- relate to floating day(s) where the kids might stay home because of, well, snow falling from the sky.
Instead, it relates to a day where the school hires a dude to come out with several big friggin' blocks of ice and generate several hundred cubic feet of machine-generated snow on the ground so the kids can go play in it. (Apparently, this is the kind of gig that local contractors do when they're not on set generating snow for the latest Bruce Willis flick.)
You may now mock.
