Bwog decrees the 2011 battle has begun. Get your asses out there!
Go get ’em! Remember, as of right now, classes aren’t canceled, but the University does say that “conditions are subject to change.”

@Anon This whole day was like watching a highlights reel of slip-and-fall lawsuits.
@its unsafe out there students, do NOT listen to the administration on this one – a friend of mine has already broken her arm fallin
@Sorry for your friend but... ….It’s hardly unsafe. It’s easier to walk than it has been most week just because someone has actually cleared pathways to pretty much all the buildings.
I would have liked a snowday too but let’s not get dramatic.
@Anon The campus itself is very safe, because Columbia has a lot of cash available with which to hire a team to obsessively clear every pathway. This is less true of the city in general… a fact I realized a bit too late after stepping off campus for the first time today in footwear that worked very well on the carefully plowed and salted pathways but less so in the slush puddles covering most of morningside heights.
@You do realize That Columbia and Barnard are the only schools in the city open today. Yet again ,we show our self-importance by staying open when even the city has shut down due to the weather.
Don’t go outside if you don’t have to. The sidewalks and street crossings are still a mess!
@memememe is the DIANA CLOSED??
@bc'11 no. just the diana cafe is closed.
@bc'11 in my life here, we’ve only had two “snow days”
both last spring, one was the day of the snow fall after 3pm (which was bs and i took the whole day off)
and another was a friday in february and my prof had sent us an email the night before saying he wasnt gonna make it in to the city.
i figured we wouldnt get this one either but im skipping my 9am class. fuck it i’m gonna sleep in until my class at 1pm
@Wow This post has the most depressing comment thread EVER. Witness the slow extinguishing of hope…
@senior 3 more months. then i’m OUTTA this shithole!
@Blah I’ve got a seminar this morning in which two of the four students are GS folk. Do the right thing, Professor. For them.
@Anonymous fuck columbia. bunch of inconsiderate assholes. if i manage to make some kind of fortune or obtain some amount of fame after i graduate, this school ISN’T GETTING SHIT FROM ME. obama style.
@Alum at nyu Update: nyu closed. Hurrah.
@Today's MeMe is to bring Up the lack of a snow day in every class.
@Anonymous Columbia and PrezBo (or whoever makes this decision) should be ashamed. With the public schools and other major organizations closed, there is clearly a legitimate reason to do so. We may not be a ‘commuter school’ but this is a time when Columbia should be showing respect and recognition for those students and staff who do have to commute, and not make them go through unsafe conditions to get here. This is truly pathetic.
@Blah I hate this school.
@Alum at nyu As of 4 30am nyu is open but late, all classes before 11am are cancelled. As for Columbia… We didn’t get off for the biggest snowfall in NYC history in 06…
@Anon Nooooo!!!! How is this school open when city buses are shut down and the mayor declares a weather emergency?!!!!
@Anonymous No snow day…
@Anonymous No snow day, though delays in the morning possible: http://news.columbia.edu/home/2278
Oy.
@Anonymous No Snow Day, though some delays in the morning possible: http://news.columbia.edu/home/2278

@Anonymous Public schools are canceled…could impact the chances of Columbia being closed…

@looks like school wil be out tomorrow
@Anonymous Wear your pajamas inside out!!
@Anonymous Just watched a cab slide all the way onto the sidewalk. It almost hit the bus stop booth. Please let weather.com be wrong about the mostly sunny thing tomorrow.
@Anonymous Annnd another one, on the other side of the road.
@Science of Cognition I have a quiz tomorrow for a class I have yet to even attend (don’t ask) and this potential snow day has killed any desire I could muster to revise.
So help me I will cut your face, if tomorrow morning doesn’t bear great news.
@Science of Cognition …SON OF A WHORE.
Off to Butler. GODDAMMIT.
At 11:45, faces WILL be peeled off.
@i am fully expecting a morning cancellation.
@PrezBo quote “Conditions are subject to change…our decision, on the other hand, is not.”
@Anonymous bwog never sleeps a little lame for 12:33
@Anonymous i love how this fight started, ust 5 people who tried to go sledding and failed… which turned into an epic snowball fight

@Anonymous BWOG NEVER SLEEPS… great tag
@Anon time for alcoholic hot chocolate!

@Anonymous bwog, the gypsy cabs are struggling on broadway. school needs to be closed
@i think If bwog could cancel classes, I’m sure it would.
@Anonymous did anyone else see the blue haired kid with no shirt? wtf
@Anonymous yeah his name is attention whore
@Is it ever. Although if you use his camp name, ‘Douchebag’ he’ll also respond.
@Anonymous I think he is nice
@Anonymous and he wasn’t the only guy out there like that…there was no pants guy and others doing the same thing
@Anonymous Hes the nicest guy ever!!!!!
@anonymous2 im so jealous of NYUU! argggg. Columbia better cancel tonight so that i can run outside and be free of this homework!
@um yes jealous of all the steps they are currently NOT sledding because what. no campus.
COLUMBIA FTW
@NYU is cancelled. this ensures we will be.
@Anonymous is that an established trend?
@Unclear NYU is a commuter school. We’re not. It’s not so obvious
@Anonymous False, tons of our professors commute in. BELIEVE.
@Anonymous How do you know NYU is closed? I see nothing on their website.
@They also have no active weather alerts. I call bull.
@Anonymous Where did you find this? A visit to NYU’s “alerts” page and a text message to a friend down there returned nothing…
@its oon nyu.edu jackass
@Anonymous yeah, as of 11:00 a.m. of course it was. as of late-night? no.
@Anonymous WAHHH WHY DO I HEAR SNOW PLOWS???
