Third-grade teacher Mary Morris really loves snow days. So much that she created this very elaborate, six-minute parody of Adele’s “Hello,” all about snow days. Seriously, the production values here are much higher than your average Adele parody. She clearly _really_ loves snow days.

Two weeks ago, Morris performed her parody for her fellow teachers at Rush Strong School in Strawberry Plains, Tenn. After [the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxhSiM3LdIk) of that performance got lots of positive attention, she decided to [recruit a friend](http://www.wbir.com/news/local/education/teachers-snow-day-video-going-viral/20002717) to help her make the above music video.

“If it’s got to be so cold, the least that it could do is snow,” Morris sings. “If I have to keep my students inside, one more time, for recess, I’m gonna lose my mind.”

See the full lyrics [on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnIRfvFLiWQ).
