This morning my kids woke up to the new “snow day”, an internet outage of SaaS Education products, i.e. Google Meet.  Since we are primarily virtual with education these days, the term “Snow Day” at least for this Winter 2020-2021 season will not be an issue.  No dangerous roads for busses to navigate. They have been replaced by tech outages.  Although few in number, and limited duration, thus far, kids may be happy that they can miss their first period in school.
