Another "Snow Day"?  Not a snowball's chance in hell!

Schools in Erzurum were closed on 20 February because of 

snow and students sent messages via social media urging 

Governor Hamza Aydoğdu to cancel school on 21 February,

too.  However (!), Aydoğdu opined that the snow's effect

had lessened so the students had to attend school on the 21st.

When Aydoğdu visited the Cumhuriyet Middle School on the

morning of the 21st he was confronted by students who had

reluctantly come to school.  When he told them "The weather

is great, forget about getting another 'snow day'.  Get into 

class, warm up and study!" 

Hearing this, the students pelted Aydoğdu with snowballs and

the Governor responded in kind, cheerfully telling the students

"Enough already! Go to class!"
