On this surprise (for me) snowday here's a little challenge.
Imagine that the snow never stops falling. Either by using your own estimation, or a weather report, find the rate of snow fall at the worst part of today. When you turn in your work, either cite your source or explain your logic.
Then imagine that you are going to take refuge on your roof from the ever rising tide of snow (remember it never stops falling). How long will you have before the snow is so deep all around you that even when reaching your hand straight up, it doesn't reach out of the snow. Assume, to keep the math easy, that the snow gathering on your roof slides down to match the snow building on the ground around your house so that when it does finally stop there aren't little mounds at each house, just a big open expanse of snow.
Otherwise enjoy the extra day of vacation!
