snow disaster!

So the main event of the week was clearly the snow storm. I couldn't think of much else to write about considering it determined pretty much my entire week. The storm caused a major period of upheaval and it took many different aspects of society to return back to normal after the event occurred. First off, clearly the snow plow companies as well as the tow truck companies, played a large roll in helping relieve many people who were caught in the midst of the storm and became helpless. Besides the obvious, I thought about how schools and teachers, as well as businesses were going to recover after this storm. No one expected it to be as bad as it was, yet there still was some major after effects.
Teachers and schools barely ever cancel a day, and if they do, they have to have a very good reason. This epic snow storm gave them one. I thought about how their lesson plans are figured out a week or even weeks in advance so that they have ideas laid out for the week and they have pretty much a game plan. Because of the unexpected two days off, their game plan was messed up. They were forced to either put things on hold, or come up with something new. Either way, things did not go accordingly. The same goes for businesses. Some businesses may have had major meetings of plans to discuss businesses deals within those two days where they were unable to go through with it and put in a somewhat binding situation. In those two days, what if the companies they were planning to make a deal with, changed their minds? Anything could have happened and they would have had to pay the price. Eventually all teachers and schools, and businesses too, returned back to normal. But in the mean time it just seemed like a huge issue and it took many efforts from many different aspects of society to return back to normal.
