Has it been so long that we have forgotten how to deal with snow here people?
When i went to bed at 12:30 it was not snowing, so i assumed classes would be still on. When i got up at 6:30 the view from my window looked well plowed -- roads, sidewalks, everything. The INFO line was down, though. Apparently administration wasn't opening until 10am, so Public Safety inferred that 9am classes would be cancelled. They weren't sure, though, and given that classes start at 8 and when i checked my e-mail at 10 of 8 there was no mass e-mail saying classes were cancelled, i assumed it was a normal day (unless your individual professor cancelled class). So at quarter to 9 i set off to my class in Seelye 304. Along the way i learned there were some amusing spots that hadn't been fully cleared -- like my side of the JMG crossing. And then there was a guy still shovelling the steps of Seelye. This is why you call a delayed opening, people: so you can adequately clear off all surfaces on which people travel. But obviously it's much for fun to let us freak out with contradictory information and inferences on the Jolt. Le sigh.
