Everyone be careful. Major storm moving into state college causing at least 3 inches of snow. All finals moved back to Friday and Saturday. Be careful. You may need help. So just look up and wave your hands.
Breaking. Finals pushed back due to blizzard moving in at Penn state.

3 inches is considered sizable? Is this an Irish blizzard?
An Irish blizzard maybe, but not an African blizzard, that’s my point.
Seriously??? 3 inches of snow???? Times sure have changed. 3 inches of snow in state college years ago would barely garner a yawn.
Back in my day we used to go to class in 6 feet of snow and 155 mph winds, barefoot, uphill both ways. We'd die of exposure, revive ourselves, and keep walking, because we weren't soft. Kids these days!
I live in State College and it currently looks to be raining and the temperature is just above freezing. I remember classes being canceled one time and that was during an 18" snow storm. I also remember almost everyone being gone the 2nd half of finals week except for me. I always seemed to have a "bleeping" last day final.
Could be a real bummer for some kids. The finals scheduled for Thursday were moved to Friday and one on Saturday. I can imagine that some aren't excited about a Friday night final at 9:00 PM or a Saturday morning final at 8:00 AM. We live in State College and have had all sleet so far. We have 2+ inches of sleet and haven't seen any vehicle on the street other than a borough truck with a plow.

I live in State College and there is currently about an inch and a half of sleet on the ground. The roads are pretty icy from what I have been seeing/hearing. Everything is pretty much closed in the area, coffee shops, local school district, restaurants, they even postponed trash pick up until tomorrow. It is actually starting to convert to snow where I am at(Flakes mixed in with the sleet). Supposed to snow until 7:00 AM tomorrow. Accuweather saying we could get up to 8 inches. When I first moved here, I thought that they seemed to cancel things for weather very quickly. However, with lots of folks driving in from surrounding areas where there is usually some mountain ridges to go over(which the weather is usually worse on the ridgetops), I can understand why. People can't drive when the roads are dry, can you imagine how worse it gets on the ice/snow covered roads?
My daughter's last final was yesterday afternoon and we picked her up right after. She was very happy to get home and feels bad for those that got boned.Could be a real bummer for some kids.

I was there from 81-85 and I think the one time classes were cancelled because of a snow storm was my sr. year and It might have been around st. patricks day.
These students would have never made it trying to cross Old Parking lot 80 in Jan. or Feb.

ONly time I ever remember classes being canceled was during break between, I think, Dec 95 and jan 96 when 20+inches of snow came in on Sunday. I waiting until the last minute to drive up from WPA that Sunday where we hadn't had that much but as I drove up 22 it was getting bad. I stopped in Ebensbug for a bite and they looked at me like I was crazy. GUess they had closed down everything north of there and I had to stay in a hotel for a night until they could open 22 back up. PSU closed for that MOnday
OOf. Thats how I used to go back and forth from Penn State and home. 219, and 22 and then up Bald Eagle Mt. and that area from Cresson Mt. through Ebensburg was always rough in the winter. Hell Cresson Mt. was rough in June.
Work takes me through that area at times. It's a different world up there from November through March.
Well that must have been the storm then since your years pretty much coincide with mine.
I don't remember having any snow days at PSU but there's probably a good reason why I don't remember.
I was there during that time frame. I don't remember any particular real bad storms (not saying they didn't happen .. I just don't remember the weather from that time, generally), but I do remember on one occasion that I believe was during finals, we had a snow storm, and my exam wasn't cancelled ... I had to drive from an off campus apartment and try to make it up a swerving hill, I think on University Drive ... my car started to slow down as it lost traction, and then started fishtailing all over. Luckily, there was a side street on my side of the road and I was able get control of the car enough to pull into it and off the hill, as others were sliding going down the hill, too. I didn't attempt going back up the hill ... I turned around and didn't go to my final. I can't recall what happened, other than I must have been allowed to make up the final at a later date.
"...feels bad for those that got boned."
I suspect there's a lot of that going on at PSU today with classes being cancelled. Just say'n.
Actually, town is pretty emptied out already. Many classes now don't have final but final papers or projects or the final can be taken online. So many of the students have left prior to the snow.
Same here - we had no problem walking to the bars though - good times!
crossing parking lot 80 in January used to be enough to qualify you to join the SEALs
This what a snowstorm at Penn State used to look like when I was a student. I was one of the lucky ones that had to dig my car out of Parking Lot 83 with the multipurpose tool known as a cafeteria tray.
I got frostbite on my ear walking across tundra 80. It was -10 for a week.
And they postpone finals for some snow?
Snowflakes is right.

It was a tractor trailer on its side
I was there in ‘85 and I don’t remember any closure for anything… ever?
I recall Super Bowl Sunday that year the temp was -17F and classes were held as normal Monday AM.
How could the home of Joel’s Accuweather get this forecast so wrong?Could be a real bummer for some kids. The finals scheduled for Thursday were moved to Friday and one on Saturday.
