My university was kind enough to send us an email telling us not to go outside tomorrow. It will be -5, with a -30 windchill. They even provided us with a frostbite calculator, to determine how long we can be outside before exposed skin becomes frostbitten. On average, in tomorrows conditions - anywhere from 7-12 minutes.

BUT THEY DID NOT CANCEL SCHOOL.

All classes are still on. Attendance still counts. Test and quizzes still count.

All the other schools (universities, colleges, grade schools) are closed. Oh, but not us.

Here's how quickly you'll get frostbite, but you still have to go.

Not to mention the fact I attend the school with one of the country's largest campuses. 10,000 acres. It takes me about half an hour when I walk from one class to the next. At the very least, a 15 minute walk from my first class to the nearest parking lot.

Ugh. Not safe.

The media is already complaining. But it sounds like the president doesn't want to be the first one in the history of the university to have more than one snow day in a year.

University of Minnesota Duluth has canceled classes tomorrow.

University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities is still on. So all the Pharmacy students up here at UMD, who take their classes via ITV at the Twin Cites, still have to attend.

I love Minnesota.

It's 7-12 minute frost bite warning for exposed skin.

It's honestly not that bad if you cover up your face with a scarf and a warm hat. I work outside in those temperatures fairly regularly.

In New York City, they've closed school because of bad weather only 3x in the past 25 years.

They NEVER fucking close schools here. No such luck.

It's not high school, it's college. Skip it. Your instructors will respect you for making your own goddamn decisions. Send them an email if you feel compelled. You should be taking care of yourself now. The president can say whatever the fuck he wants, he's not the boss of you.

"Dear Professor, I value keeping the tip of my nose more than your lecture. See you next week."

I do sympathize, I don't know how you guys do it. It's freezing here in South Texas and we're expecting frozen rain. The city will shut down all the highways with overpasses. School will get postponed. I couldn't deal with that below zero shit.

Meanwhile, here in Scotland, more than a couple feet of snow gets me off school, and I've genuinely been sent home just because of "gale-force winds" once before. 'Tis the good life.

My classes have a two skip policy. Skip once, it's okay. Skip twice, you fail.
If I have to, I'll take a lost limb over not graduating in May. I just won't be happy about it.

Hell, I skipped way more school when I was in high school. No wiggle room in college.

Where the hell do you go to school?

Then again, maybe I'm just in the right degree program. I've only had one class that required attendance, and then even failing that wouldn't affect my GPA (it was one of those study skills classes).
