is there snow? March 2, 2009

NOVA Alert, the cell-phone message service (you can sign up for it here), informs me that classes are cancelled "all day." I do not take this to mean "all night," too. At NVCC, "evening" classes are all of those beginning at 4:30 p.m. or later. I'll be checking through the day for clarification.

Meanwhile, I assume that they assume, optimistically, that we can all get there before dark. That will be a challenge for me!

This is what I found on the website:

This is how to interpret closing announcements you hear on the media:

Northern Virginia Community College is closed: The College will be closed until classes begin on the following morning. When this simple announcement is made, it means that no day or evening classes will be held.

Northern Virginia Community College will open at XX:XX AM/PM: All classes that begin at or after the designated time will be held as usual. Any class with at least 45 minutes of class time remaining after the college opens will also be held. College employees should arrive at the designated opening time.

Northern Virginia Community College will close at XX:XX AM/PM: Classes that begin at or after the specified time are cancelled. College offices will close at the specified time.
