Thursday, October 27th, 2011Tornado Apocalypse
Monday, September 5th, 2011
Watch out, 2015 parents!
Today, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Saratoga, Montgomery, and Schenectady Counties. I was snug as a bug in Scribner, but apparently everyone on campus was flipping their shit at around 5:30 PM, when a barrage of rain and wind and thunder and lightning and fire and brimstone made everyone scream and run for cover. This was an incredibly inopportune time for the weather to suddenly throw a second grade hissy-fit, because the Class of 2015 (the largest and most diverse class in history) moved in today. What an ominous way to start your college experiences, guys! Hope it gets better from here!
The Saratogian is reporting that a tornado actually touched down in neighboring Montgomery County, and the accompanying video supports that, but the National Weather Service has yet to confirm whether or not the scary cloud actually was a tornado. Now, I only took one semester of oceanography, but it definitely looks like a tornado to me.
The video is pretty cool, and the lady filming it says “oh my god” a lot, but really stays surprisingly calm considering a TORNADO BLOWS RIGHT THE FUCK PAST HER. If I were her, I’d pretty much be shitting my pants and cowering in the back seat.
**BREAKING NEWS**
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
It is lovely out. Ditch your homework, crack a Guiness and go outside. The weather gods are calling for homework weather (read: rain) tomorrow and Thursday so you should probably soak this up while you can.
School’s Out for Snow Day
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
As many of you already know, all normal school functions after 2 pm today have been suspended due to the white powdery substance falling from above. Unfortunately, the Library will also be closing its doors around 6 p.m., so instead of doing homework, it’s time for a nap. The school will reopen at 6 am Thursday morning. Enjoy the afternoon.
Check out the campus’ snow hotline for more info: 518-580-SNOW.
Snowball fight, anyone?
Winter Weather Advisory
Thursday, December 11th, 2008
I don’t really understand the rainbow spilled across this map, but The National Weather Service has issued a “winter storm warning” for Saratoga Springs until tomorrow at 1pm. The NWS warns “one-half to one inch of ice is possible from the Capital Region north into the Saratoga region. There is the possibility of widespread power outages across the region as well as property damage due to falling tree limbs.” Perhaps tonight will see a repeat of last years fabled campus wide power outage/snowball fight?
Severe Weather Warning (11/15)
Saturday, November 15th, 2008
For those fortunate enough to already have Skidmore alerts enabled on their cellular devices, you have probably taken the necessary precautions: rent a movie from the library and cancel all hot dates. For those of you who haven’t…
A “high wind advisory is in effect until 9pm this evening. Winds will be accompanied by heavy rain. Please secure (small objects*)”
*Small objects include, but are not limited to bikes, posters, and small children.
You have been warned.
