New Orleans is in the middle of its first bona-fide, real-deal snow day in decades. The sun is shining, school is out, nobody should be driving (for real, stay home people) and that sneaky suspicion all of you bosses have right now is absolutely, positively true: anyone who says they are working from home today isn't.

New Orleans had fewer security measures in place on New Year’s Eve in parts of the French Quarter than during the same celebrations in earlier years, offering the assailant in the deadly attack on Bourbon Street an easier path into the crowds of people he went on to kill or injure. Surveillance videos in the area of the attack show there was room for Shamsud-Din Jabbar to maneuver around the New Orleans Police Department SUV stationed at the entrance of Bourbon Street.
