SUNY Oswego Cancels Afternoon Classes
As of 9:30 this morning SUNY Oswego has cancelled all afternoon classes due to inclement weather. This entails all classes that begin at or after noon anywhere on the SUNY Oswego campus.
Heavy snowfall and blowing snow combined with frigid temperatures have prompted the school to take this action. Safety is the main concern for students and faculty as they head from building to building for class, as well as for those faculty and students who commute to the campus.
Visibility is limited and walkways are barely identifiable all across campus and Oswego as a whole. Campus officials are making efforts to clear the snow as quickly as possible, but with some reservation, as to protect themselves and students in the low visibility conditions.
The National Weather Service is calling for a 100% chance for Lake Effect Snow all across Oswego and has issued warnings out all across Central New York. The snow is expected to continue into tonight with a slight tapering off in the later evening. Accumulation is expected to reach 3-5 inches, and temperatures are ranging from, 5-10 degrees. With winds out of the Southwest at 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 30 mph the temperature feels more like a frigid -3 degrees.
Take a look at what walking around campus is really like with this short clip.

Spring Allergies
by Ilyssa Weiner
Oswego, NY- Spring is finally here in Oswego State. The first day of the new season was on Monday. However, spring fever isn’t the only thing increasing on campus. There’s also spring allergies.
Mary Walker Health Center Director Angie Brown says cold and allergy complaints are very common this time of year.
“It is a pretty common complaint we see…especially this time of year,” Brown said.
The spring allergy season usually starts in early March. However, the fluctuating weather on campus recently may have caused some people’s allergies to start sooner.
Allergies are usually caused by pollen floating in the air. When it’s breathed in, it will cause a reaction inside your body.
”That’s why your body does the sneezing and the coughing and the runny nose because it’s actually trying to get that outta there. It’s an irritant,” she said.
To prevent allergies from getting worse Brown advises students to keep their windows closed and get rid of any dust they may have in their room. She says that if students are really bothered by allergies, he or she should take medication such as antihistamine to prevent anything severe from happening.
Each student’s allergic reactions are different and Brown says each student’s treatment of the allergy will be different as well.
Mary Walker Health Center is open Mon.-Fri. from 8:30AM-4 PM.
