I don't have a link or anything, but the teachers at my school have said they're calling for extremely heavy dust either tonight or tomorrow. ( they're making allowances for classes to be cancelled and things)

I didn't need a mask last year because it wasn't so bad.
Today, as soon as I finish work, I'm going to buy a mask. Don't be stupid people, it's gonna be bad tomorrow so wear a mask if you go out.

Classes will be cancelled? OK! Works for me..I have thursday classes planned so I dont need to come to work. And I would love to sleep in. With today's classes cancelled that would make it one hell of a light work week.

At my place they said teachers have to show even if classes are cancelled.

No dust so far. Maybe it will come tomorrow. I did see my first watermelon of the year though.

If they are cancelling school because yellow dust is dangerous for ya, then its kind of stupid to expect people to come to school in those conditions especilly since thats why school was cancelled in the first place.

My Korean friend told me to expect at least two more bad ass dust storms this season.

Spring in the air!
No, why should I?

Yesterday and today were so nice that I had the windows open to let in the spring air. Before long people started sneezing. Gads, do we have to wear masks INSIDE the office now???
