No Snow Day? Share Your On-The-Job Selfies With Oak Forest Patch

OAK FOREST, IL — For students across the south suburbs, Friday's winter snowstorm meant one thing: a coveted snow day. But one student's cherished snow day is another person's aggravating and potentially treacherous work day as many around the area still needed to report to their jobs despite the severe weather.

Or because of it in the cases of snow plow drivers and other workers tasked with essential duties that don't stop over a few precious snowflakes falling from the sky.

That's why Patch wants to recognize those people who made it into work Friday. It doesn't matter if you're an on-duty police officer on patrol, a customer service rep answering phones for your company's help desk or a cashier working the register at a neighborhood convenience store. If you're working today, Patch wants to know.

Let's call it #NoSnowDaySelfie.

Here's what you need to do: Snap a selfie — you can include co-workers, too, if you like — while you're on the job. Then post it to Oak Forest Patch's Facebook page with #NoSnowDaySelfie. Or email the photo with "#NoSnowDaySelfie Oak Forest Patch" in the subject line to editor Joe Vince (joe.vince@patch.com). By the end of the day, we hope we'll be able to put together a gallery that shows you weren't the only person who didn't have a snow day Friday.

And here's the first #NoSnowDaySelfie to start it off:

Let's hope that was the first of many.
