Sochi-Inspired Snow Day Announcement Goes Viral

The head of a North Carolina school took inspiration from the Sochi Games--and rapper Vanilla Ice--to craft a memorable snow day announcement, that's racking up YouTube hits.

Michael Ulku-Steiner and his assistant, Lee Hark, explained in an online video message, that classes at the Durham Academy would be canceled Thursday, because of all the "ice, ice, baby"--a riff on the Vanilla Ice hit by the same name.

The pair--one dressed in ski goggles, the other in a Team USA Olympic sweater--remained straight-faced as they rapped to the tune of Vanilla Ice's 90's single:

"Slate falling down like a million missiles, bringing school delays and early dismissals."
