Snow: Get you some!

"Hey, guys! It snowed outside! I thought it wasn't going to snow until July, but look! Snow!" -Asshole
This person is an asshole.  This is New England, and in New England, it snows like it rains in Olde England.  Now, I know what you must be thinking; "Ethan, what if I did think for just a second that it might not snow at all this winter? Doesn't that make this snowfall that much more exciting for me?" No, it doesn't, and that puts you right up there with comical quotations #1.  However, instead of tossing you into the stupid pile without an explanation to your poor, inadequate fate I'm going to slowly and clearly explain why you're wrong.  When you first saw snow falling, did you collapse into a fit of joy?  When you heard on the news that there would be a storm that night, did you sacrifice yourself to Cthulhu?  When you woke up in the morning and saw that there was a coating of snow over the grimy, dirty back alleyway that you live in, did you don a business suit, smile, and bible and pledge that on that day you would start making the world a better place? No.  No you didn't, you treated it just like any other day.  You woke up, sighed on the inside, sat up, sighed on the outside, thought of the best way to put eggs and bread together in a way that would actually give it some taste, give up due to lazyness, and tried to spend as little time as possible interacting with other people.  Now, this is just a generalization to what I know, but I can assume that your day went pretty much the same as your day always goes.  Don't believe me? Think an extra free day changed your perception on what was happening around you into a world of rainbows and lollipops?  Well then, what did you do on leap day? Celebrate diversity? Smell flowers?  Go to school, go home, and go to bed?  That's right.
