It is snowing as hard as last Tuesday, maybe worse. The traffic is fuc*ed and I heard there are a couple of traffic accidents already. Also, I have seen few people hiking down the mountain already.
This is why I feel bad about living in Rez sometimes...

Snowing REALLY hard, and LOTS of ppl still on campus jsut wandering around cause they're not letting down the hill (not even cars)
Sorry to hear that. Other than flying you off the mountain or controlling the weather, anything I can do to help?
As of 4:45 pm, weather conditions on the Burnaby Campus are extreme.
Evening classes at the Burnaby Campus are cancelled. Students at Harbour Centre should call 778-782-5029 to confirm whether their evening classes will run. Surrey Campus is open.
Translink service to the Burnaby campus is currently not running. Driving conditions are treacherous, and there are multiple vehicle accidents on the approaches to Burnaby Mountain. The University recommends that you stay put and do not attempt to drive until conditions improve.
The dining facilities on the Burnaby Campus that will remain open until 11 pm are the Residence Dining Hall and the Rennaissance Coffee shop near the ASSC1 atrium in the AQ.
Conditions will be reassessed and updates will be posted here at approximatly 6:20 pm. Driving is currenlty strongly discouraged on Burnaby Mountain. Please check the SFU Road Conditions page at http://www.sfu.ca/security/sfuroadconditions/, or call the SFU Road Conditions phone line at 604-444-4929.

I just got home. Walked down the Mountain with a new friend haha. Then some nice couple gave us a list down hastings. Woot. Only took me since 5:30pm!
Glad to hear that both of you arrived home safely.
Now, what about Steve?

yea! Any updates?
Still snowing like Whistler up here, snow plowing crew no where to be found, roads covered in snow. Unless they can clear and salt the road by tomorrow morning, don't expect school tomorrow.
looks like theres school, haha. Probably for the best, labs tomorrow... lol

SFU should seriously get a few of these.
[sarcasm]
I just throught of a fast way to get off the hill. Grab a few dining hall trays and slide down the mountain.
:)
But its funny, cuz i was up there today at about 1:30pm and it was snowing lightly. It was so pretty! Im really glad im not there now tho.
uhh... there is a big left turn after the Hastings intersection. I think you would fly off the road.
It would be cool if they made a giant quarter pipe-like banked turn using the snow.
Also, I just throught of another idea. Bring a swimming pool floats like this...
and slide down. There are little friction on this thing and I have seen these things in action.
i wish sfu had a ski slope going all the way down the mountain.....kinda like a ski-in/ski-out type of thing--well, minus the ski-in part hah

I'm still up here because they aren't letting anyone out.. and judging by the webcam, it's gonna be a looong wait to get anywhere
Probably for the best, labs tomorrow... lol
