Good news for the citizens of Kettering, Ohio: Its police department on Tuesday declared an anti-Purge, canceling all criminal activity in light of the impending polar vortex.
”Haven't done anything illegal but being in jail sounds more appealing then working outside these next couple of nights,” one commenter wrote.

The Kettering Police Department’s post was a joke, but many churches and schools in Greater Cincinnati have canceled all activities for real. View an up-to-the-minute list of closings and delays here.
