A SNOW DAY.
KETV First News meteorologist Matt Serwe put it PERFECTLY when he tweeted:
“Post about any snow during the week, and every high schooler be like…”
Remember what it was like as a student, watching TV and listening to the radio nonstop just wishing you’d hear your school’s name as CLOSED for that one blissful day in the snow? Now, TENS OF THOUSANDS of high school and college students across Nebraska and Iowa can also check Twitter and Facebook for closings. This year, they are going above and beyond to not just watch, but PLEA for those days off. And MAN are they creative doing it.
To be clear, neither Matt, nor I, nor ANYONE here at KETV have any power in determining a day off from school. We wait for area superintendents just like everyone else. We are merely the messengers. But boy, we have been THOROUGHLY entertained by the requests coming into the newsroom.
