I’ll set this up:
A snowstorm hit the Raleigh-Durham area in February 2004 and 7 inches of snow will shut down cities in NC because we get snow infrequently and we are not prepared for it.
A MooU message board called The Wolf Web had a few students enjoying the snow days when a few tech savvy IT/Computer science nerds realized that the closings listed on the crawl at the bottom of the screen was being entered through a web based service and companies could have a do-it-yourself access to keep things updated.
This link shows some screen caps and they are hilarious.

The Woofies suck at sports but on this day they got it right.
Channel 14 ultimately caught on but it was fun while it lasted.
I still laugh about it.
