Last night it snowed 7 inches here (according to Wunderground). In Wheaton, it snowed 9 inches, and Leslie got a snow day. So I was excited, I thought, there is a chance we will… but alas, this morning I got the following email from our Chancellor:
From: chancellor AT uiuc [edu]
Subject: CLASSES OPEN AS SCHEDULED AT U of I
Date: 1 February 2008 05:57:33 CST
To: everybody AT uiuc [edu]The University of Illinois is open. Classes WILL be held.
Facilities and Services crews have been working through the night to clear
campus streets and sidewalks, and that work will continue today.
I think that wherever I am, the snow and rain and cool storms I want to witness go the other way. Does anyone else experience this? I know that I probably shouldn’t like severe weather, but to be honest, I kind of do. It’s pretty awesome.
