Wake me up in case it snow-snows

Well, we just got one step closer to being like the Jetsons or something around here.  As 2012 approaches, those of us who live in Snowville can now hit the sack at night without having to worry about what will happen if it snows, or gets frosty, overnight.

Why, you ask? Because now there is an app, available for iPhone or Android, that will wake you up five minutes early in case of frost - or twenty minutes early in case of snow, giving you time to clear off the Biscayne and get on the road.

Here's the link to the Winter Wake-up app:

I didn't click on it, so I can't even tell you if it's a free app or not.  I don't think it works on the phones of teachers or students, who are likely to have snow days off anyway.  They don't need this!  They can actually hear the first flakes hitting the street at 3 in the morning.

Yesterday my husband used the Rimshot app while reading our kid a book of painfully corny riddles. I think we can all agree that the rimshot app is much less of a buzzkill than the snowminder app.

I need this rimshot app asap!
Happy New Year, Kristen!
