“Snow” Day

Schools were closed all across the Boston metro region today. My family figures for today’s “snow” day follow.

  • Number of hours of school/after-school care missed: 8
  • Number of hours of nanny-care missed: 8
  • Number of hours of work missed (me): 4 (I did some from home)
  • Number of hours of work missed (spouse): 4 (she was able to work the morning)
  • Number of inches of snow accumulation as of this post (~3PM): 0.00000000

Oh well. One can’t expect perfect prediction. This was a particularly bad call though.
