totally reasonable request that you made to close the store early. There are some things that have to stay open regardless of how bad and dangerous the weather is. Chico’s is not one of those places. Firefighters, hospital staff, snow plowers, police — they have to go to work in bad weather. But a store that caters to women who already have a ton of clothes could have closed a few hours earlier. I hope you didn’t text your SM as soon as you got home. I would have waited a couple of hours and let her worry a little bit. It was definitely a no-brainer for your dad’s annual checkup to be rescheduled. I’m glad that happened.
A question about your friend who got 3 feet of snow that covered the bottom half of her two-story house: How would she even get out of her house if her door is blocked by 3 feet of snow? I’ve never lived anywhere where that situation would happen. What if it stays so cold that none of it melts?
