SNOW DAY. IT'S HAPPENING.

"CLASSES CANCELED ENTIRE DAY."

This is my first ever snow day. And it feels good.

From the University:

Due to the snow storm on Feb. 10, 2010, the Princeton University campus is closed for non-essential employees. Non-essential employees will not be required to report to work. All essential and critical employees must report to duty. All academic classes are canceled for the entire day.Princeton students, staff and faculty members are advised to check the University home page for updates. Campus opening and closing information is also available on the University's weather emergency hotline, (609) 258-SNOW.

This is only the fourth time Princeton has closed its campus in the past 15 years. Last year, University spokeswoman Cass Cliatt '96 told the Princeton Packet:

"Closing the campus is very rare and is done only under extreme, unsafe conditions,” Ms. Cliatt said. “This would take place usually only in a blizzard or other extreme weather situation, and we believe such closing has happened only three times in the past 15 years — in 1996 for a blizzard, in February of 2003 also because of heavy snow and in April of 2007 because of heavy flooding in the region."
