Envy for a Blizzard

I've been watching the news today as the blizzard blows along the Eastern United States and heads over to the Midwest.  Our students would be envious - they have been wishing for a heavy snowfall for Sunday night - which is not in our forecast.  And why wish for a blizzard?  Because Sunday is the Super Bowl and in Germany it starts around 2 o'clock on Monday morning.  The guys' dorms with satellite will be watching it live - whether they like football or not!  So they will go to bed around four then get up for school three hours later.  Needless to say Monday might be a wasted school day because of the lack of sleep.  So the best case scenario for us would be a snow day but that doesn't look like it will happen.  Last year we did end up with snowfall on Super Bowl Sunday so we got our wish.
