  • You hear that snow's coming and you know that you most likely won't have school the next day or will have a school delay even if there's barely any accumulation or its mixed with rain

Actually, I get some of them. In a past life, and some of you know what I'm talking about, I had strong ties to Allentown.

I really miss A-Treat.
