6-10 inches of delicious

Snowpocalypse 2011! Blizzardgeddon 2: Electric Boogaloo! In case you haven’t heard, the worst snowstorm this year has ever seen will hit New York tonight and bring a whopping… eh, 6-10 inches of snow.

But still, perhaps learning from Mayor Mike, Columbia is taking a few more precautions this time, issuing the following alert. Friends on campus, take note:

The University expects to maintain normal business operations tomorrow, Jan. 12.

However, given the probability of significant snowfall, only the gates at 116th Street at Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue will remain open on the Morningside campus starting Tuesday evening.

We encourage everyone to check back here for updates about the University’s status and schedule. Should there be any weather related closures or cancellations, they will be posted on the Columbia homepage at www.columbia.edu and the CUMC homepage at www.cumc.columbia.edu. Alternatively, you may call 212-854-1754 for the Morningside campus or 212-305-7300 for the Medical Center for updates.

As if our campus had a lot of shortcuts to begin with…
