Today it actually snowed in Chapel Hill, and while every school in the area (aside from Duke) had off, UNC students trekked to class. There are probably more than 10 reasons why UNC should not have had class today, but these are the top six:

• It never snows in Chapel Hill. It snowed through most of the day, and there were a solid two inches on the ground.
• Bricks are slippery when they are covered in slush. Raise your hand if you busted your ass walking to class today.
• The inauguration. Snow or no snow, there should not have been class between 11 and 1 today. The inauguration only happens once every four years, a few hours without class would not have ruined anyone's education.
• The buses were not having a good day. Horror stories include buses sliding across lanes on Franklin Street and into random ditches.
• Given more time, students could have built even better snowmen. The giant snowmen in the Old Campus Upper and Lower quads, as well as the snow penis, showed that some people are very talented with snow.
• It was way too cold outside. This is the South. Life should be put on pause when it is cold outside.
