Snow day...UPDATED

Two things this means for Worcester this spring:

1. Two more weeks of days extended by 45 minutes (March 9-12,16-19, and now 23-26, and 30-4/2) provided the School Committee votes to approve it. That was the solution proposed when they approved the previous extended days; this may come up at Thursday's meeting. UPDATE: Turns out there's no new vote needed: the long days carry on until April!
   
2. The city's snow removal budget just went one more storm in the hole, up to $3.7 million. You can count on seeing that number again. Remember, snow removal is the one area in which Massachusetts cities and towns are allowed to carry a deficit from one year to the next; otherwise they have to balance the budget within the year.
