Stormy weather has been wreaking havoc on middle America this week, canceling classes at the University of Iowa and forcing the University of Oklahoma to reschedule its Monday finals because of widespread power outages and safety concerns. But Madison's 20 inches of December snow wasn't enough for Wisconsin officials to cancel school, and the ice sheet that covered Lincoln has made the trek to classes at Nebraska a slow and slippery process. Said one Husker who had two slip-and-falls: "We should've been canceled."

The Husker's comment was delightfully understated. As mama always said, "Get to the point and shut up!"
