Spike that

Spike that

Across the lands and waters he was battered

beneath the violence of the high ones for

the savage Juno’s unforgetting anger.

It appears Virgil said it best, as winter storm Juno is finally upon us. According to Mayor Bill de Blasio, this “potentially historic” snowstorm might be the worst this city has ever seen. Thus, in order to prepare the freshmen community for the next 24 hours, Momma Bwog brings you our own snow day survival guide for tomorrow, January 27, 2015. Contained in the guide is a collection of information regarding openings and closings around campus (courtesy of Columbia Preparedness) as well as advice on how you should spend your snow day tomorrow. Enjoy and send tales of your adventures to tips@bwog.com.
