The act of banking on not having school because of a snowy forecast. At the very least this will usually consist of doing absolutely no work for the next day. Other options include: staying up later than usual, playing in the victory snow, staying at someone else's house, drinking, and other various activities. This glorious activity can be carried out by both students and teachers. The less snow called for, the more exciting the snow banking is.
Disclaimer: Snow banking can only truly occur if the snow banker has no knowledge of an actual snow day yet
Derek: How is that paper coming along that's due tomorrow?
Cam: I'm not working on it, I'm over at Conor's
Derek: How will you get it done before tomorrow then?
Cam: It doesn't matter. They're calling for a half inch of snow overnight. I'm snow banking. Hard.
Many countries currently offer banking with their local post offices.
This was already a thing in the United States from 1911 to 1967 when the US Post Office offered some basic banking and lending services.
Currently the US Post Office can only cash Treasury checks and issue money orders, but if Postal Banking returns, it would be a non profit banking option that provides a variety of banking and lending services.
If interest rates get capped at the proposed 15%, won’t banks just refuse to lend to new/high risk clients?
Probably, but Postal Banking is non profit and as such can offer low-cost low-dollar loans at rates that banks don’t want to.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
