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.

Obama’s announced commencement speeches include Hampton University and University of Michigan, but once again, not Columbia. (Politico) Every state in America has snow, except for Hawaii. (Daily News) Where’s the love for Honest Abe? (NYT) 300 employees, including 32 doctors, were laid off from St. Vincent’s. (Gothamist)

It says here that we’re in for a boatload of snow tomorrow–anywhere from 8-12 inches. JTS and Teachers College will be closed tomorrow, but you can chalk that up to their high percentage of commuting students and faculty. As of now, open on its regular schedule tomorrow, and things will have to get downright biblical […]

Our four-legged friends took a field trip to Central Park yesterday, and wound up all over the internet. (Urban Hawks) The Royal Shakespeare Company will ply the bard’s trade during a month-long residency at Lincoln Center in the summer of 2011. (NYT) The MTA figured out that the F train was slow, so, naturally, it […]

While you were studying and/or throwing snowballs, the members of John Jay 11 were making one of the better examples ever of winter overcompensation. Certainly more realistic than most of the stencils we’ve seen in past years.

The snowstorm blanketing much of the Mid-Atlantic kept a lot of your high school friends from flying home this weekend. (Times) The Parks Department officially invites you to go sledding in city parks; unfortunately, they will not be officially providing post-sledding hot chocolate with marshmallows. (Gothamist) While hosting last night’s episode SNL, James Franco french-kissed […]

On Low Plaza! Observers estimate 150 or so showed up for the midnight start, increasing to three or four hundred as the hour went on. And a panorama from our webmaster/photography specialist, Hans Hyttinen (click on it for a larger picture): Videos by John Kenney and Ron Gejman

How much snow will we see this weekend? Well, Bwog’s crack meteorology team has spent most of the day keeping an eye on the multiple forecasts pouring out of the National Weather Service, Accuweather, and Weather Underground computer models, and they report that the predicted amounts of snowfall keep climbing. What was a 1 to […]

JTS held a screening and panel discussion of “Inglourious Basterds” yesterday. Sample quote: “Wow, that was fun…I’m not supposed to feel that way, I know — I’m Jewish.” (Times) Three family members were killed by a career criminal in an Upper West Side apartment; the attacker then fell to his death while trying to escape.
