Sunday Blizzard, Monday Snow Day?

As many of you know, it was blizzarding outside yesterday and braving the elements was quite dangerous. Many Chicago schools were closed, but despite much debate, Loyola stayed open.

However! This does not mean that you should just lose hope that you’ll actually get to sleep in tomorrow. Before you decide to give up, make sure that you set your alarm clock a little earlier than usual, so you can check your email and see if your professors have cancelled classes! Due to the cancellations of other schools and institutions, they may have at-home obligations that won’t allow them to be in class. Especially check for your early morning classes, as well as your downtown classes.

Another quick bit, be careful while walking from class to class–it is quite slippery out. The CTA tracks have frozen a few times and they’ve lost power, so if you plan to take that to class make sure that you email your professors if you think you’re going to be late. Same goes for those of you who take the shuttle from campus to campus!

Everyone stay warm, and stay safe! Don’t forget to bundle up and wear an extra pair of socks, as the Chicago winter has just begun.
