On right is a graphic taken from the NY Times comparing snow totals for Mid-Atlantic cities from last year and this year against the average. It's amazing how a 2-3 degree shift in the temperature can turn an inch of rain into 15-20 inches of snow, and a normal workweek into a second winter break.
I now have 37/46 responses to the review assignment I posted on Tuesday. I'm impressed. I've thought of using this format for homework in the past, but for some reason I thought it might be too difficult to manage for students. Now I see that even under the most trying of circumstances you all responded well. So that little experiment pays off and I can put it in my back pocket for another day.
Since school will be closed until Tuesday, I'm going to post one more assignment on the homework page to make sure we all stay in the swing of things. It's an outline assignment for Chapter 2. You can use your textbook, notes, the newest podcast, and/or the internet to complete this assignment. It would be great if everyone were done with this one in time for class on Tuesday, but I understand there are extenuating circumstances.
There are a few students who are waiting to retake our most recent test. That retake will happen on Wednesday during study hall. I can take questions regarding that retest between now and then, via email or in school on Tuesday (assuming yet another record-defying blizzard does not develop and bury all of Baltimore in the ultimate "snow-pocalypse").
