Recently in Emporia, there has been lots of snow due to early January’s weather. Is this snow a hindrance or is it a good thing? You might have your own opinions about the snow, but this story will give my personal opinion about the snow. The recent snow has let me skip two school days which is a great thing for me but that means that the snow is dangerous enough that they had to close school. Even when school is open, the trail to the school is always cold and you can slip on the ice. The snow can also be a pain to shovel, but can be a good time with your siblings or friends. In total, the snow has some benefits, but I personally think the snow was mostly a bad thing, at least to me.
