Not sure about this. Just checked there now and it's definitely white. There must have misjudged the amount of yellow paint required. Someone should resign.

Well if it's anything like last year, the campus and carparks freeze over and turn into giant deathtraps. Not fun.

RandolphEsq · 27-11-2010 3:32pm

The college will turn into a warzone again! That was so much fun last year!

Will there be any concessions made for people who can't get in to college due to the weather?

Tutorials at 9 & 10 on Monday morning.

Chet T16 · 27-11-2010 8:55pm

I've at least five tutorials this week so i'll be braving the 35+ mile drive

Well with exams going right up to the 22nd of December it is highly unlikely there would be any cancellation or rescheduling of your lectures. Your exams have been made up and written for a good while now so they have to get through the module outline.

I just emailed my programme officer to see if I could change my tutorial time to later in the week cos I don't see myself getting to Dublin any time soon.

I would be the same but because of the superfines in the library it's just not possible not to even attempt to get up.

All general loans can be renewed online if there are no reservations for the book, if there is, you have to bring it back ...

Huge snowball fight by the lake tomorrow at 2pm!

Raphael · 28-11-2010 10:45pm

Awesome, I'll be bringing a baseball bat with me for any ****er who decides I'm a good target.

RandolphEsq · 28-11-2010 11:17pm

Note to self, target guy with baseball bat!

Any chance of college being cancelled monday/tuesday? Looked at the satellite there and apparently there is a massive snow front coming in for tuesday in dublin? I'm stranded in Waterford at the moment and the roads have shown no sign of clearing despite there being no snow here today.

Would lecturers be understanding enough about not making it up for an exam on tuesday as long as I contacted the program office?

I called services this evening to check. They said there's no closure planned but to check the website in the morning for any update.

I'd imagine there's a lot in the same boat as you, contacting the programme office can't hurt.

waterford1988 · 29-11-2010 12:41am

Thanks, i'm kind of worried to be missing some revision lectures this week but it's not worth the risk of taking the car out on these roads. there are cars abandoned outside my estate as no one can make it up the main avenue hill. Anyone who tries starts to slip backwards.

I have never driven in these kind of conditions before so f*ck that!

Is the campus itself covered in snow?

The trains are running fine.

Yup! Even with some sun today it hardly dented the ice and snow
