Youth in the Lower Mainland woke up to the unsettling news Thursday that the winter storm cleared enough for schools to reopen 鈥� leaving at least one student feeling desperate enough to beg their school district call another snow day.
鈥淣ot only are the road and driving conditions extremely treacherous, but I have a chemistry test scheduled for tomorrow,鈥� the unnamed student said in an email to West Vancouver superintendent Chris Kennedy.
鈥淭his would normally not be problematic, but due to recent weather patterns, I have spent the last two days skiing and drinking hot chocolate instead of preparing for the test.鈥�
Kennedy, who posted the email to social media Thursday, said the teenager attends Rockridge Secondary School.
鈥淭he student body kindly but desperately asks of you to call a snow day tomorrow,鈥� the email continues.
鈥淚f you do, not only will I study for chemistry, but I will also take my chances and ask out the best looking girl in the school. Just think Mr. Kennedy鈥� What would Jesus do?鈥�
The student ended by asking Kennedy to 鈥減lease wear your PJ bottoms inside out and backwards tonight as Wikiepedia says this will increase the chance of snowfall.鈥�
I hope everything goes well for this young @RockridgeSS student and his chemistry test today. One of the better snow emails I got. #westvaned pic.twitter.com/nGNLqDHrYG

Unfortunately for the student, West Vancouver was one of the many school districts that reopened its public schools after heavy snow and blizzard-like conditions sparked a region-wide snow day for schools, daycares and businesses on Wednesday.
Environment Canada forecasters said that snowfall is expected on and off through the day into Friday.
