1. Some people are unbelievably nice when they see their neighbors in trouble. We saw countless people towing people out of ditches, digging out others cars, driving doctors to the hospital, ect.
2. Some people are unbelievably rude when they see their neighbors in trouble. When you are going down a two way road that has been, by no ones fault, turned into a one way because of the snow, the kind thing is to back up and let the other person by. Unfortunately, some thought it would be better to stare the other car down until they moved.
3. Kids need time to be kids. My students had such wonderful stories from the time they were "snowed in". They loved using candles when the lights went out, sledding down countless hills, and making snow angels. Not once did they worry that they might not be ready for the state assessments... and that is how it should be.
4. The snow made me remember how powerless we really are. The snow doesn't care about your hair cut appointment, or the assignment you have due. It made everyone slow down.
Although it was a HUGE pain, I think more good came out of this historic storm then bad.
