We got some decent snow today so App State cancelled classes with the encouragement to "winterize" missed courses:

Due to increasingly inclement weather, all classes on March 14 are cancelled.  Road conditions vary across the county. … Please use caution during inclement weather.

Students should check their email and monitor ASULearn and their course web pages for alternative assignments or meeting methods. Faculty are encouraged to utilize course winterization methods.

This 41 minute presentation only took 4 hours and now I need to make a little quiz to make sure they take the time to watch the lecture.

And oh, I don't have time to winterize my 2 pm senior seminar course. 

Thanks App State! If only the weather were more predictable …

So here is the video. A fun drinking game is to take a sip every time you feel sorry for my students.

    There’s a blog post about climate adaptation to be written about this…

    I hope you didn’t put a date on the first slide – then when it is needed next year you can use it again… My university has lecturing recording as standard – but then half of the students don’t show up…

    Think of all of the positive externalities though! Thanks App State!
