Harvard Today: February 4, 2015

Happy hump day! And, if you’re anything like me, happy actual last chance to hand in your study card day! Now that the snow isn’t just a two foot pile everywhere you walk, the sidewalks are slushy in the worst way possible, so if you’re planning on going to Wednesday class, leave some room for falling a few times. If you’re conveniently and coincidentally not going to be at your section all afternoon today and instead find yourself randomly in Boston, you may as well stop by the Patriots parade. The snow isn’t stopping Marty Walsh from cueing the Duck Boats. And who wouldn’t want to see a gleaming Tom Brady with 4 rings?

IN THE ATMOSPHERE

Typical New England weather...basically anything is possible today. We’re talking some clouds, partial sunshine, and possible flurries or snow showers. Maybe even some rain. There will, however, be a high of 37 degrees!
