Snow Day: What's up with that

Recently there has been an influx of people who are really interested in the Snow Day article. I don't know what has happened in countries like Canada, Malaysia, and India but somehow people in those countries, I think, love this article. It has been the most popular one for the last week, and I'm pretty sure in no part of the world but the highest mountains is it actually snowing. I just thought people would find this amusing and funny, and after a weekend spent with the BE and Coolpants we could not figure out what the fuck is going on with this.

What is so interesting in this?
