It has been seventy-one years since we have had snow like this in the Lower Mainland. Our own national meteorology department says we will be having heavy snow for the rest of the week. Because of this blizzard, highways have been clogged. Public transport has been sluggish. Sidewalks have become slippery and dangerous. We understand that maintaining our logistical services in such a time is a nightmare. But using our logistical services in a time of caution and danger is another headache for us and our families. Little children like my sister have to walk to school. What if they slip and injure themselves, or what about a pedestrian getting hit by a skidding car? What about the students, teachers and parents, who are all scrambling to get to their places on time, end up stranded on the highways due to the piles of traffic and service disruptions that are caused by the weather? Are all of these headaches worth one extra day at work, when we as friends and family have the confidence that our kin are safe and sound at home? Why can't we have one snow day just to ease our conscience while all the other school districts laugh at us? Isn't the safety of students, teachers and parents alike important so we can learn in the long term?

TL;DR: Snow is bad weather for commutes and the weather is really dangerous for us to be moving so frequently.
