Has the school ever been closed due to the weather, or is it always up to the professor?

The school will do it, but not often. If you prof lives way out of town, you might get lucky and them call it off. Check your email in the morning.

I think it typically takes like feet of snow to cancel classes.

I would hope that classes are canceled. It seems like every other college I can think of has called off. But uh, yeah, check the email in the morning.

I think the only way UMR would cancel class due to snow is if they could not keep the sidewalks mostly free of ice, and the doors were frozen shut. Its very unlikely they will cancel everything.

PLEASE, I want out of my test until monday.

Yes it has, but the last time (as I remember being told) was in the mid-to-late 90's, when apparently there was very, very bad weather that disabled most of campus.

Well, maybe we can get another two-day power outage. That cancelled classes pretty handily.

UMSL and MSU cancelled, and we're right in between... why do we have to be difficult?

On a related note:

Anyone notice that it's 7 in the morning, and the Rolla road crews haven't done jack squat?

Yep, I am looking at an ice covered road with two cars stuck in the middle and their warning lights flashing.

Rolla Public schools are cancelled, so no need to clear the roads for the busses. They probably called it a snow day and went back to bad. Wish I could do the same.

I can't see 63 very well from here, but university drive appears to still be snow-covered, so I can't imagine anywhere else would be much better.

...and still no emails...c'mon

I've been waiting for that e-mail since FS03. I'm sure there are people that have been waiting a lot longer than me. I wonder what it actually takes to cancel classes (besides a power outage).

this is starting to be major bullshit....

we'll be the only school in the UM system not cancelled...
