March is coming in like a Columbia lion, says Bwog’s personal meteorologist, albeit more like a Lion that actually wins once in a while.
Those sad suits at local TV stations are predicting one last whopper of a snowstorm for us in Manhattan. 8-12 inches of snow by 6:00 PM tomorrow, and perhaps a fair share of sleet, too.
So enjoy that little bit of hope when, tomorrow morning, bright-eyed and shaggy-haired for your 9:00 AM seminar, you think, just for a moment, that classes are canceled.
And since they won’t be, you can tell your folks over spring break how you trudged through the snow while PrezBo rode a sleigh a block and a half.

@that child looks nothing like a snow phallus
@whoo! in my four years here, one of my classes actually got canceled because of the snow!
@goddamn really wish international politics were cancelled (w/ jervis). don’t wanna deal with this midterm… ugh
@so down for football in the snow
@The good old days I miss high school in Maine. Soooo much snow…that actually manifested into snow days.
@in the know my father went to columbia and said there was a snow day during the blizzard of ’78. the next one i think came in ’95. i think then there was like one in 2003.
so on average, one a decade.
@WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SNOW?
@lame other city universities are having snow days.
@not lame how many of them are residential campuses?
@st. john's in queens is a residential campus I’m pretty sure.
@pace is residential as well.
@what is a snow phalli?

@i have a takehome due and an in-class midterm tomorrow. fingers crossed to the max.
@wooooo my 910 and 1035 classes have both been cancelled. boom, roasted.
@Hmhp. I’ll believe it when I see it. My heart’s already been broken too many times this winter!
@there's hope if your prof doesn’t live in the city (and many don’t) your class will most likely be canceled. my 9:10 class already was since my prof has to drive in.
@Columbia Lion? In which case, we should expect a half hour of heavy snow, then dying out, crushing everyone’s hopes and dreams.
@when i was in high school they’d give us off for a quarter of an inch! and then then we’d have off so often for a quarter of an inch that when it actually snowed a lot, we wouldn’t get off because we ran out of snow days!
that being said…has columbia EVER issued weather-related cancellations of class?
@rumor has it My roommate’s sister was a member of the class of 2006. She claims they got a snow day her freshman year…in 2003.
@yes I think 02-03 was the last snow date in recent memory.
@yep despite 2006 having the biggest snowfall since they started recording it in 1869.
@alas …it was on a weekend and melted the next day.
@WHAT? AW SLEET SLEET MOTHERFUCKER
AW SLEET SLEET GOD DAMN
(GOD DAMN!)
@hey previous reports of the storm of the century left us blue-balled. so i’m not believing the snow until i see it
@What the fuck? Give me some goddamn Spring!
@Anonymous COLUMBIA-WIDE SNOW EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!
MONDAY 9-10 PM
Meet in front of Butler!
@Woooo: I am so very excited for snow.
@the only time I miss high school is when school isn’t canceled for snow. 8-12 inches…we’d definitely have the day off.
