The Red and Black

This is insane! They admit to ice being on campus and lots of power outages, but we still have class? I just drove around campus and was still skidding on the ice patches. I have no idea how the buses are running right now

Snow, Ice, Wind Storms, We've seen the after-effects, entire communities without power!

Here are some tips on how to safely restore power due to unexpected power outages and safely use emergency generators.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The University is a bunch of idiots for having school, especially when Clark Central ( located about half a mile from campus) is closed. I tried walking to class and fell. Now, my ankle is the size of a balloon and I can't go to class or go to work. So now I get to drive on the icy roads and go to the health center to make sure I didn't tear anything. Thanks UGA for opening school, hope nobody else falls on there ass!!

I agree with everyone so far, this is ridiculous! Most of the sidewalks are still completely frozen over. On my way walking to class this morning (since the buses weren't running) I slipped at least 4 times while cars were still skidding. At the very least classes should have been postponed until after noon. And every county around is closed! What were you thinking UGA!?!?

Great job UGA, it looks like your budget isn't as sacred as we all thought... imagine the law suits. I am glad that I am graduating soon!

I live in New York City and yesterday we had 8.5 inches of snow. That's only 2.5 more than Athens received and for the first time in 5 years, NYC public schools were closed...and that's with snow plows and de-icers. Athens is simply not equipped to handle this type of storm and the University should not risk serious injuries or worse by having classes.

My only problem with the way things were handled was the notification system. UGA decides to tell us that classes are cancelled through EMAIL? Our power is out. How are we supposed to get the message? Where was UGA alert when we actually needed it? Most of us still had battery left on our cell phones. The university should have sent us a text message. Emailing us was completely pointless.

Stop complaining. I have to work today for 10 hours so you should have to go to class for 2 hours

Oh, boo hoo. Y'all are breaking my heart. You think your employers will treat you any differently after you graduate? Learn to walk on ice. It'll do you some good.
