Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow?

by Dawn Kawamoto
Two high-school students from Ohio were arrested last week, after allegedly hacking into their school's Web site and posting a "snow day" notice, according to a blog on the F-Secure site .

For those who live in the Sunshine state, a "snow day" is when schools, government offices and businesses close because of the snow.

According to F-Secure's posting, the students allegedly had the password to the school's computer system and extended its one-hour delay notice to a full-blown snow day.

Hot chocolate anyone?
