Res. Life warns before storm

Posted on by

Univeristy Housing and Residential Life sent out a mass email to students living in Main Campus residence halls Wednesday night, warning of impending thunderstorms and heavy rain.

The email advised students living in those residence halls to close all windows to help seal out the wind and rain, minimizing water damage.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch and wind advisory for Philadelphia County for the night of Jan. 30, extending into early Thursday morning, with heavy rains and gusts of up to 50 mph.

Students in need of help are encouraged to call Campus Safety Services at 215-204-1234 or the Temple Weather Hotline at 215-204-1975.

Keeping up with a snow-day tradition

Posted on by

It’s almost 7:15 a.m. Meteorologists have warned of wretched travel conditions, especially for the morning commute. Many area school districts have closed, or at the very least have called two hours late. Rain is falling and quickly turning to ice. Conditions are just bad.

In keeping with Temple tradition…

As of 5 a.m. Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Weather notice:

The University will be open for business and holding
classes as scheduled, on Wednesday, January 28.

Nevermind the unnecessary comma. Temple successfully continues its streak of not offering a full snow day to students in exactly how many years? I can tell you it’s been at least four.

So get out those snowboots and pray you don’t slip and break your arm.
