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.”

Snow promises great things and while scattered cries for a snowball fight didn’t materialize today, we do have a few pictures of the sights the fresh snowfall brought with it. Photos by Evelyn Warner. Stay warm and sweet dreams, all.

Peter Sterne snapped these delightful shots of campus last night. In case you haven’t noticed, Bwog loves snow—remember when?! In an effort to recapture a small amount of that epic rejoicing, we’d like to collect a multitude of snow pics—either from campus if you’re back already, from elsewhere in New York, or your own hometown […]

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 […]

Crazy snow of apocalyptic proportions (“thundersnow“?) hit New York yesterday. Assuming your family is already getting on your nerves, here are a few glimpses of Columbiana to help you forget the hell of finals and idealize school again. Bwog woke to the sound of sleds scraping along the sidewalk. Hot cocoa in hand, we’re heading […]

Bwog’s Holiday Cheer Leader Peter Sterne reports. As the first snowfall (flurries don’t count) of the year descended into Morningside Heights last night, students gathered on the Lerner Ramps and outside Roone, eager to see the latest edition of XMAS!, the VShow-like student-run musical that’s been satirizing the holiday season for the last five years. When the audience was finally […]

We have a winner! Jody Zellman captured the first flakes! “The scourge is here,” Jody writes in his winning email. And a few more snowflakes courtesy of Hans Hyttinen:

CTV goes to the Jon Stewart rally, speaks with Ariana Huffington, and asks a small child, “What’s your greatest fear? Is it public speaking?” Be sure to watch the video. (CTV) Board of Trustees chair William V. Campbell is advising on a new web browser called RockMelt, which is designed to better incorporate social media […]

This week, it rains. It also might be sunny, but Accuweather has been changing its mind a lot. We can say this, at the very least: don’t expect snow. Bwog thanks Kim Lessing from the bottom of our hearts for her beautiful camera. Zak Dychtwald is a supreme editor and cameraman. Pat Blute is very […]

Here at Bwog, we love the snow, and just because it was the second day of snow in a row doesn’t make us any less excited. Here’s a collection of images from one of the most beautiful days we’ve seen in a long time, featuring skiers on Low, a snow panda, and… the Consent Snowman?

Bwog’s Chief Romantic Messaging Tipster Jon Hill caught the following snow inscription on the benches outside of Low yesterday:

Snowicane? Cataclyzzard? Nor’Easter II, Electric Boogaloo? Call it whatever you like–just as back-to-back 40-degree days earlier this week led to tantalizing thoughts about warm weather, it looks like we’re gonna get dumped on. Again. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning in effect from 6am Thursday until 6pm Friday. We’re told to […]

And it is snowing peacefully on Lerner 5 tonight.
