We're having a snow day here. Mr LC used to love them, now that he's getting paid by the day, he does not. Anyway, to clear up any misconceptions about snow day I present to you: Rick Mercer, the Maritimes' funniest guy explaining the miracle importance of snow days to Snow Day-Hating Torontonians. I trust this works as well to help explain the phenomenon to our friends from Warmer Climes.
