Canceled due to weather: WLUG meeting Wed 1/12/2011
Hi folks, Due to the weather WPI has decided to close the campus tomorrow. Therefore, our WLUG meeting which was scheduled to be held on Wednesday, January 12 at 7:00 PM at the WPI campus has been canceled. I look forward to seeing everyone at our meeting next month, Wednesday, February 9, 7:00PM. Keep it safe, Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group
Woh! I remember back in '96 when we were all amazed that they closed the campus for the first time in something like 20 years. Is this the first time since then? On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 5:12 PM, Chuck Anderson <cra@wpi.edu> wrote:

Had a few delayed openings/early closings while I was there. I think maybe one full day off from a snowstorm. On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 5:46 PM, Theo Van Dinter <felicity@kluge.net> wrote:

Grumble. I remember back in either late '92 when I was a 16 year old commuting Mass Academy student and I came back to my car, in my assigned WPI parking lot (across the street from the end of the sports field) and found a parking ticket because apparently the lot was supposed to be clear for snow removal. I'm not sure what channel I was supposed to get a notification about this from. They certainly didn't put up a sign. Classes were most definitely not canceled. The lot was full, so obviously no one else had gotten the message either. Oh, and the ticket was underneath a perfectly even and undisturbed layer of snow, so I'd obviously gotten it before any snow had fallen at all. I'll always remember that as my first parking ticket. Grumble, mumble and additional disgruntled noises. On Tue, 2011-01-11 at 17:46 -0500, Theo Van Dinter wrote:

Wasn't that the 25" in 24 hours of snow in Worcester storm? I remember that. I also remember walking to campus for work in the snow and being surprised it was closed. :]
Yeah, it was somewhere between 2-3' of snow. It even has it's own Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool's_Day_Blizzard And it occurred to me right before finding that page that it was 1997, not 1996. :( I can remember watching the snow from Fuller Apartments, and I wasn't living there in April 1996.
