We all have our superstition. Some of us have lucky socks, some don't open umbrellas indoors, but we all have something that has to factual basis that we believe in wholehearted for no reason. Every February when David Payne announces an ice storm that could keep us home from school, it's time to break out the snow day superstitions. According to local lore, the internet, and some very hopeful students, this is how you summon a snow day.
Does it make sense? No. Do I still put on my pjs inside out and backwards every time I see frozen precipitation in the forecast? 100% yes.
In theory, this is supposed to symbolize all the snow your snow shovel will be buried under in the morning. Worth a shot, right?
I have always been told to flush one ice cube down the toilet for every inch of snow you want, but since we live in Oklahoma, I always put in extra to be safe.
You're telling me I have to eat a big bowl of ice cream so I don't have to go to school tomorrow? I'll take chocolate, please.
What, you're not using it anyway. Just put it in the ol' ice box and immediately forget about it.
It's a classic for a reason! You can make up your own snow god is you are so inclined, anything for the chance of not having to catch the bus tomorrow.
