1230 classes may or nay not be cancelled and we will find out in 17 minutes? Id like to just go back to sleep now, I dont want to get ready to go to school if I dont have to.

Shower, eat, brush teeth, get dressed, flat iron hair, then do hair. This was going to be my dream come true, I thought I was dreaming still when I woke up, this is more like a nightmare now, please I dont want to die going up that hill :confused: !!!

    They better give me a 1.5 hr notice before my class starts since thats the time it takes me to get to school.

    This is discrimination if they reopen campus, why do people who take tuesday classes get so lucky :( Its not my fault my lecture was on wednesday, this will go straight to a human rights tribunal

    When do we know..it's past 10:30.
    Apparently there is still light snowfall.
    Is the SFU site down? Loading pretty slowly for me.

    How we supposed to find out if it doesnt work. WTF.

    this is a good reason why you dont tell people to check at a certain time and just make a judgement call

    They better make the decision of whether opening/closing the campus soon. It takes me one and a half hour to get to SFU.

    So does that mean all classes today will be cancelled? What about the night classes..!!

    But then I suppose if classes are closed now, it would close later due to the temperature drop later in the day.. and perhaps more snow.

    It looks like there will be no class for this afternoon.

    CAMPUS UPDATE

    SFU's Burnaby campus is reopening this afternoon, effective at noon.
    HOWEVER, because of continuing traffic and road problems in the Lower Mainland, there will

    be NO CLASSES at Burnaby for the rest of the day.
    The Vancouver and Surrey campuses are open for classes as usual.
    The Burnaby childcare centre is closed for the rest of the day.
    As of 11 a.m. roads to and on the Burnaby campus were mostly clear, although with some

    slushy spots. Buses are running, but are subject to delays. Anyone planning to go up or down

    Burnaby Mountain should drive with caution—and good snow tires.
    The forecast is for rain tonight, and for some more flurries on the mountain. To find out if the

    Burnaby campus will be fully open in the morning, check this website at 5 a.m.
    You can check road conditions any time at the SFU Road Conditions page at

    http://www.sfu.ca/security/sfuroadconditions/. Or call the Road Conditions phone line at 604-

    444-4929.

    I'm at the Surrey Campus, which stayed open and it's snowing pretty heavily. Half the parking lots are closed and it's a complete mess here. Half the people in my class didn't even show up.
