“The rules are don’t touch the snow,” he continued. “If you don’t touch the snow you’re not going to throw it.”

In addition to potential injuries from snowballs, Smith is apparently also concerned that the snow might get students wet — which might interfere with their studies.

This is obviously insane.

More likely Inane, also the reason the Vikings could easily invade the British Isles
