With winter storm Jayden bearing down on the East Coast and ready to dump up to 14” of snow, it is time to choose your Powder Day excuse. Here is a list to help get your creative juices flowing – some are convincing, some are creative and some we just advise against, if staying employed is also part of the plan.

Today is Ullr Day and I must honor the snow gods.
I was swimming in a pool and left a trail of stool – I got diarrhea! Nobody will ask further questions.
Migraine – very believable
I have vision issues today, I can’t see myself coming into work today
Simply say you can’t come in. No excuses, no reason. Just that you can’t come in and you’ll see them the day after.
I have anal glaucoma, I just can’t see my ass coming into work today.
I’m depressed – I have no friends on powder days.
I have a bad case of Mad River fever
I have an appointment at the Okemo clinic and will not be in today
A dingo ate my baby
My car has a flat tire
$h!t's flowing downhill today, so I may as well do the same
What's the use of getting up at 4 AM to snow blow the driveway if I can immediately go the ski hill when I’m done, you're done?
My socks won’t stay up
I have an erection lasting longer than four hours
Seems I have lost my mojo – I need to spend the day finding it
Need to binge watch {insert your favorite show}
Traffic is unbearable I need to turn around and go home
I’m snow blind, I can’t see coming into work today
Honesty. It’s a Powder Day and you plan on hitting the mountains. Just try not to do it every powder day.
See ‘ya on the hill!
