Are you expecting snow or are you just happy to see me?

The university is already making preparations:
Due to the forecasted threat of severe weather, the second floor ILRC computer labs won't be opening until 7:30 a.m. on Friday, February 1. Even if for some reason the remainder of the campus has a weather related delay or campus closing, we intend to have both floors of the ILRC open for our residential students beginning at 7:30 a.m..

Which frustrates the frap out of me.

If they would cancel classes for safety reasons on a Tuesday, why not cancel under the same conditions on a Friday?

Went to Wal-Mart tonight (and no...it wasn't to buy bread and milk, I ran outta toothpaste and I needed some, especially before the "Beach Trip" in SC) and it was PACKED. I immediately thought of this thread.

thepostman delivers the big news...and it deserves a thread of its own.

From a faculty member who teaches at 720 AM...I thank the admin for the advanced warning.

Great news, HMO, but just don't blow a fuse in the morning when your wipers are frozen to your windshield. You better go outside and put them in the upright position now, just in clase.

Their was some icing...on my deck...on my windshield. Given the information they had last night, the school made a very good decision.

This thread is 10x better. Maybe we should just retitle this as "official weather discussion"
