The Amazing Weather Predictor

Like much of the northern United States, Tartarus has been experiencing a particularly rough winter. Several times this winter there has been question as to whether or not we should open in the morning. This used to be a simple process. The Hutt would check the National Weather Service, Facebook posts from the local police department, and a visual from the road outside it's house. This no longer seems to be the case. Any time a storm is coming we have the following conversation.

     Random worker: Bad storm coming tomorrow. Maybe we'll have a snow day.

     Shoes: I don't think so. I'm sure Squirrel can bring me in.

     Worker: What about the rest of us?

     Shoes: -cricket chirping-

We only seem to close if Squirrel thinks it's too dangerous to drive. We can only conclude that Squirrel is some kind of mystical weather predictor. Squirrel is like the groundhog: if it sees it's shadow, we have to go to work.

 

No snow day for you, Spoof and Speck
