整大了

昨天还说淅沥沥的小雪一个劲儿地下。可雪花儿虽小,也经不住一直不停地下呀。瞧这一整天两整宿下的,整大了吧?整得学校今天都关门停课了吧!

要说人家学校的管理就是比较先进——有原则,又有灵活性,还充满人性关怀。这是今天早晨8点半之前给每一位IU成员发出的通知:

Indiana University’s Bloomington campus is closed until noon today (Jan.  28 ) because of icy roads creating hazardous travel conditions(由于冰滑的路面造成出行非常不安全). A decision on whether to reopen after 12:00 p.m. will be made late in the morning based on updated road conditions.

Students, faculty and staff should watch http://indianauniversity.info/ for updated advisories.

然后在上午11点半钟之前又发了全天停止上课和办公的通知:

IU Bloomington closed all day due to snow  Wednesday, January 28, 2009 10:30 AM
Indiana University’s Bloomington campus will be closed all day Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2009, due to heavy snow, which has created unsafe travel conditions(由于大雪造成出行极不安全). It is expected that normal operations will resume Thursday. However students, faculty and staff should watch this Web site for updated advisories.

贴几张我今天早晨出去(去图书馆赶上关门,回来查看邮件时才知道,CLOSED!)时拍的几张照片。很有意义啊!据说好多年没有下过这么大的雪啦:


【我的住所附近。铲雪车刚刚开过。】

【主图前的10街。铲雪车已经开过几次了。】

【这个有点大雪的意思了吧】

【图书馆门前一景】

【人行道铲学车开过去后,可以比较直观地看出雪的厚度了吧。这还不及平均的厚度呢,因为这里是风口。】
