Snow Snow Snow

TheJeanGenie

Just wondering whether they've ever shut down the college because of weather conditions? As in cancelled lectures etc considering a lot of people would live a good way out from the campus.

One of mine was cancelled today, as the lecturer couldn't make it in

The thought of trekking all the way in is killing me

It's never been completely cancelled in the entire time I've been in UCD, then again the last time there was snow this heavy was about 8 years ago.

The thought of coming in from Firhouse tomorrow is killing me, but I have a 100% attendance record since the start of 4th year and I don't want to lose it *just* yet!

well my trip in is usually 75 mins, today it took 4 hours to get home,
if its anything like that in the morning im declaring it a snow day :P

Mr.Nice Guy

I have 5 in a row tomorrow so really not looking forward to going in the freezing cold and trying to survive on the scraps of food I'll be eating to keep me going.

One is a seminar though so I feel I need the marks.

I wish they cancelled everything! Reminds me of when I was in school and it was snowing and we were told to wait in the yard as the vice-principal had an announcement to make.

"The heatershhhhh not working boyshhhhh so you can all go home..."

"Wahey! Leg it!"

College sucks, eh?

Looks Coolz.

Lore has it that UCD was closed for 3 days in the Great Snow of 1982. There were 3m drifts on the road behind the library, which wasn't re-opened for a further week. That was a proper snow, when temperatures were -19C at night and not only the UCD lake was frozen but also the canals.

Anyone see the snow mob??

UCD closing at 5pm, which I think personally is ridiculous.

Had a deadly snow fight today, the mob legging it through Newman was brilliant.

Im off today but what do you mean by closing? Many lectures go on till 6 and then theres night courses etc. So the whole place is shut at 5? Gates and everything?

Edit, see the email now. Is it that bad out there? Cos theres only about 2cm in templeogue and earlier in the week the snow melted fairly quick out in ucd

Thomas_S_Hunterson

Here's the email that was sent out:

Due to current weather conditions, all buildings at Belfield will close at 5:00pm today, Thursday 05 February 2009. All buildings will re-open under normal hours tomorrow, Friday 06 February 2009. Any updates will be posted on UCD Connect.

Local services desks can attend to any questions before 5:00pm today.

The view out my Kitchen window this morning



the view out my bedroom window this morning



The view out my bedroom window 5 minutes ago




I went in for a lecture only to find out that it was cancelled. The snow mob was fun though


Does all buildings closing at 5pm include the student bar?
If so there are going to be a lot of disappointed Coronas fans.
