Guess what, Mango?

What's that, Will?

I was away earlier in the week, but I hear you guys had a big snow day here in Atlanta.

Yeah, that's right.

We stayed home from the office.

My kids drove me bonkers, and of course, it didn't snow at all.

Yeah, that's life in the South.

I hope you get used to it.

But, you know, I still feel like we should do this week's nine things in honor of snow.

So I've got a fact to kick us off here.

Did you know that on March 30th of 1992, Syracuse actually tried to ban snow.

There was this record snowfall that season.

I think it was like 160 something inches.

And so the city council, this was a great idea. They unanimously approved

this resolution to outlaw snowfall in the city of Syracuse until December 24th of the following

year. I like that. So obviously they're like holding it off until Christmas Eve, which is great,

but did it work? Not at all. In fact, Mother Nature wasn't in a listening mood, and it snowed two days later,

but it did give the citizens something to smile about, you know, during this really tough winter season.

And so that's just the first of nine facts about snow. Let's dig in.

Music Hey there, podcast listeners, welcome to part-time genius. I'm Will Pearson, and as always, I'm joined by my good friend Mengesh hot ticketer. And on the other side of the soundproof glass, sitting with a snowman preparedness kit on his desk. I was curious what this thing was. So I had to look at it before we came in the studio. It's just like a Ziplog bag with a carrot and some pieces of coal and I think like a

corn cob pipe in it. Yeah, Tristan's always prepared. Yeah, just you just take it and you just wait to

stick it in a snowman. And so that's from our good pal and our producer Tristan McNeil.
