We got about 5 inches of snow at my townhouse and surrounding areas, but Duke apparently didn't feel the need to cancel any courses or even offer a 2-hour delay. Luckily my professor is smarter than the administrators and canceled class on his own yesterday, but today is when I have my early class (8:45) and I'm extremely concerned about driving to school. There is a solid 2 inches of ice on the roads in our complex from all the slush that was created yesterday freezing overnight (I mean, the low was 16 degrees). But again, Duke doesn't see the need to delay classes. I hate missing classes, but I do not feel safe driving with the roads in this condition; I'm a little concerned my teacher will cancel class right around the time I leave for it so I won't know until I've already left my townhouse and managed to spin my car into a ditch or something. It never snows here and the last time it did, I still drove a Jeep. A much more practical all-weather vehicle than a Pontiac. I would think that Duke is aware that probably half of their students live off campus and not all of us live within a stone's throw of campus.
So that's my rant for today. I'm going to try to go dig my car out of the snow and ice that have piled up all around it.
