Syracuse Cancels Classes For Snow? We Do That Now?
Back in my day, we trudged from South Campus to the University through ten feet of snow without shoes, or clothing, while carrying forty pounds of textbooks on our back AND WE LIKED IT!

This is the second time in four years
And this was a result of the last one.

The singer's facebook status a few minutes ago was
“Getting the band back together.” Not sure if that’s a joke or an encore is forthcoming. The piano player transferred to Maryland so they will be a three man crew.

"it's a moral imperative"
that phrase never gets old, does it?
Syracuse players have a lot of length.
No
Now stop playing with yourself.

that strom was nuts
I had just graduated, but drove up for the Tennessee football game. I remember that it was a beautiful day, and my friend and I drove back to NJ afterward…
…then the tornadoes hit and my friend’s car (she lived on Euclid) was destroyed by a fallen tree limb. Crazy shit.

Hell of a way for me to start my college career
Welcome to Syracuse. You knew about the snow. Well, we also have crippling tornados.
Enjoy Day Hall. Oh, by the way: Everyone in Lawrinson is dead.
I lived on South
and that storm made the place look like doll houses
Drove through campus the morning after
Trees down everywhere, power lines all over the road, not a soul out on the street (10am). Was like out of a bad end of the world movie.
Almost got crushed by a collapsed chimney.
Go Orange(men)!
Not sure
I ever had class cancelled for snow in my four years of college. And I went to school off of Lake Erie.
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
well you have to hallow out your text books and put the cans in them … come on , havent you ever been to college haha
#fail
make em walk in the darn snow!
if it was good enough for us then, the by ZEUS its good enough for them now
seriously ...
having been born and raised in syracuse proper … ill never figure out how it is that people cant handle this snow … its kind of pathetic , i never even owned a car it was either bike or walk my mile and a half to campus every day …
wusssssssies … hahahah
though its even funnier here in NYC , cause noone can handle the snow so i love spending my lunch break drinking cofee and watching people fall over haha
Same here in Binghamton
BU called off classes all day.
Broome Community College pulling a half day.
It’s not this morning. It’s the trip home later. The worst is gonna hit around 4-6.
They’re protecting the faculty and support staff.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Absurd
Even Syracuse has gone soft. Back in my day we walked through two feet of snow in 50 mph winds, and won bowl games. Now, we cancel school and the football team sucks. Coincidence? I think not. You bet your ass that a little snow won’t stop Doug Marrone from pumping those tremendous thighs of his (nh) and trudging up to South Campus today, do you? That’s yet another reason why I believe in HCDM.

ridiculous...
i told a current student “when i went to SU we walked miles through the snow to class, to games and to the bars” – and we did!!! heck the dome roof caved in and we still had class
Oswego State here
Never had school cancelled once…and my dorm was 200 feet from Lake Ontario. But like Afroman said…“my daddy said he walked 10 miles to school everyday…and I say, ohh…is that why you didnt graduate”. Afro mother Fuckin M-A-N

Haha
you guys and your ropes to pull yourselves to classes.
Yeah, I know it’s not true, but I love bringing it up to Oswego alums and get them all frustrated at it.

Really? Canceled?
It’s only 1-2 feet of snow. I can’t remember how many times I went to class after/during a foot+ of snow. Or even a 2 foot snowfall at one point. I know I lived in one of the snowier parts of the Syracuse area (Onondaga Hill) and we always got more snow than the campus itself (can’t remember how many times there’d be 3-4 inches+ of snow on the ground at my apartment, but barely a dusting at the bottom of the hill and on campus), but still.
The Syracuse lifers I went to class with proudly told me that the only time class had been canceled in their memory was for the Blizzard of ’93. Guess things have changed since…
Blizzard of '93 was great..
I’m only 5’9" but I remember shovling snow drifts higher the me. My wife was expecting and couldn’t help at all.
Now, as a teenager living in Watertown for the Blizzard of ’77, we missed two weeks of school. I still have pictures of my dad standing on a snow bank holding his arm up and only being 2 feet from the power lines.

Blizzard of '93
Only time I know of SU to cancell – and it wasn’t because we couldn’t walk in it. It happened at the end of spring break and Hancock was shut down – no one could get back to campus from spring break.
Orange-in-WVa
Deep Freeze in '94 was fun
Freshman year… below zero for like 2 weeks straight. The entire Northeast shuts down. Except….
Syracuse University.
Classes and partying, as scheduled.

DAS GIRLY BOYS!!!!
and dat is all u vill ever be, some of u, silly little girly boys, unlike back home when i was a kinden in ost reich in a klein burg in das hinterland of austria. eat some wheaties and shut up und quit the whining about the wonderful snow! signed, AN-NOLD..SACRAMENTO, CA!!!
It was a derecho!
First of all, it was a derecho, not a tornado – c’mon, those who were there know this!

And then Big Pun’s stage got blown apart and concert canceled – and he died a short time later, never able to reschedule. Big dagger of my college career.
Second, if this snow storm ruins my road trip up there for the game, I will punch Mother Nature in the teeth (and what am I going to do w/my fantastic tickets if I can’t get there?!? I will be out a lot of $$$. And never able to wear my special game shirt.)
Finally, kids these days are such pansies – we used to walk 10 miles, up hill both ways, in 2+ feet of snow, wearing only a tube top and thin black pants. All for some Coors Light or maybe a fishbowl. Man up, SU students. Man up.
Although it's not much snow right now
To be fair, Binghamton and Cortland have also cancelled classes and I think Cornell has too
Wait, Syracuse, Binghamton, Cornell, and Cortland have all cancelled classes? I think the world’s coming to an end now.
Yeah, too my last class on tuesday/thursday ends at 12:20
Fiddlesticks.

In other news
I totally made eye contact with WES JOHNSON HIMSELF while walking behind Hendricks Chapel today.
My life is basically complete.

I was playing bball at archibold
and we needed a 5th man. Low and behold Demetris Nichols walks in and agrees to play on our team.
He ended the game on a big dunk over some kid who was trash talking him the whole time, wish I had a picture/video of it.
Once met Craig Forth on the bus
Gave the half smile nod
Bonus: Once Billy Celuk was drunk at that pizza place next to cvs and almost fell back on top of me while waiting in line

I do commercial production and graphics design for a living.
Have a pretty flexible schedule.
Going on Vaca next week so I worked double hard Monday Tuesday to free up the time to do next week’s work today and tomorrow. Sadly, that work is “on-location” production.
Cancelled.
Now I’ve got all my work done for this week and I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND sitting and watching snow fall.
Catching Chery Bernard and Team Canada earlier was nice though…
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Can we get this thread pinned at the top as the
official “Snowed In & Bored/Drinking Thread?”
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Great, now Seidel is live from Binghamton for the next two days
Guess we’re getting the worst of it.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
