Sweet. Classes canceled.
Feb. 13th, 2007 09:58 amTime to sleep a bit more and catch up on schoolwork.
Yes, school closed on account of 6-8+ inches of snow overnight, with an estimated foot more to come.
::glee::
Seems maryland schools were silly and let school open anyways. And then announced an early closing.
On a side note:
Dear Chancellor Richard Herman,
Please send out the massmail regarding class cancelations prior to 8 AM. Some of us actually do have, and do attend, our early morning classes, and would have found it more than helpful to have been notified more than 5 minutes before 9 that classes were canceled.
Thanks,
Ben
(Yes, I trudged through the snow to the nearest intersection to wait for the bus. And stood there for a good five minutes before being informed by a passing car that classes were canceled. Doh.)

Snow! Lot of snow!
Feb. 6th, 2007 01:46 pmPrediction as of this morning was for 4-5 inches. But it's still going. Almost blizzard-like.
It's completely white outside - I guess it's too cold for them to use chemicals to keep the pavements completely clear.
I've been biking around in the snow, 'cause I'm not wearing boots and really don't want to get my socks wet. And it's still faster than walking. It's a bit hard in patches of snow as deep as my shoe. Impossible in ones deeper. But just slightly difficult in stomped on areas. That, and it's fun. It requires more control on the bike, and being able to readjust when you lose full control over a wheel after hitting a higher patch of snow.
