Well the groundhog was right
Just last week Phil the groundhog saw his shadow predicting another six weeks of winter, not even a week later SUNY Oswego is facing a winter storm.
Snow began early this morning in parts of central New York leaving white out conditions. With the temperature being 21 degrees and the city is expecting 1–2 inches per hour. Does this mean a snow day for most students?
Unfortunately, not for junior Sam Rezende, she says, “Waking up this morning I was expecting to hit snooze and go back to bed, but after checking my email multiple times I came to the realization my 8am was not getting cancelled.”
But students with classes after 12pm are fortunate, SUNY Oswego just sent out a text message saying, “S U N Y Oswego cancels afternoon and evening classes scheduled to begin after 12 noon on Wednesday, February 7.”
The low visibility already was making it difficult for students to trek to classes which weren’t cancelled, therefore this was a good call on the university’s part.
Kristen Capiello an education major said, “My student teaching was cancelled today so I automatically assumed classes would be to but waking up and finding my housemates classes weren’t cancelled I was surprised.”
When elementary schools in the central New York and Oswego district are closed it only makes sense to cancel college classes as well for safety reasons.
This is only the third week into the semester leading us with the question, how many more snow days are there to come?
