Bwoglines: O Tempora, O Mores Edition

"That's classical."

According to Columbia News’ Weather-Related Update–O, that we could aspire to such truly topical titles–there will be class tomorrow, but some a lot of gates will be closed, and we should be careful because there will be “a light coating of ice.”

Police are on the hunt for two campus criminals: the wall- scaling spiderman robber, and the mugger who brutally beat a student, then stole his cell phone. (DNAinfo)

Lime Leaf has closed, to cries of anguish. (The College Critic)

In a hilarious instance of copyright infringement, China released “training videos” of fighter aircraft–only for some wise-crackin’ reporters to realize that part of the footage was stolen from Top Gun. (WSJ)

And as a bonus–name that tag-quote!

Could It Be?!

Bwog Winter Enthusiast Mahrah Taufique spotted snow on 114th and Broadway! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Bwog’s Resident Debbie Downers figured people just threw ice in there. Bummer. Anyways, keep your eyes peeled for first flakes!


Snow the Sequel

Bwog loves nothing more than snow. Take a little time out of the day to appreciate its many manifestations of beauty.

A slavic languages professor wringing out his hat in front of the elevator:

“Oh dear, oh God almighty, I am wet from the snow.”

The tables outside of Kent have been overturned… by snowy gales? Angry coyotes? The Abominable Snowman?

College walk looks even more picturesque than normal:

Let It Snow Part 1: Sorry You Still Have Class

As of 8:52 this morning, Bwog regrets to inform you that Columbia is still open. At 6:17 this morning an e-mail went out saying that everything would be open on its regular schedule. Don’t give up hope though, if conditions worsen, school could close. Keep checking Bwog and call 212-854-1754 for regular updates.

However, that can’t prevent you from frolicking! Send in snow pictures to Bwog to aid our continual coverage of the blizzard throughout the day.

Full e-mail from James F. McShane, Director of Public Safety after the jump
