These Snow-Day Tweets Are Hilariously Mean

When we were younger, we had to call a hotline or check a website to find out whether we had a snow day the next day. Or maybe, the principal announced it on the school's PA system. We didn't have much say in the matter. But if you're a kid these days, the way to your school district's cold, icy heart is an avalanche of tweets.

The parents: "For the love of god, please send them back to school. Oh, and please pay my lengthy wine bill. I can't anymore." Again, the school district wasn't having it. (Sorry kids, you still have school tomorrow.) These responses are pure gold:
