‘WOOOOOOO YEAH’: Penn Staters Delighted Over First Snow Day Of The Year

Mikey DeAngelis | Onward State

See y’all at Country Night, amiright?

Penn Staters were thrilled Tuesday night to hear that the university canceled in-person classes, activities, and work due to forecasted snow and ice on Wednesday, January 25. The ~snow day~ is in effect until 5 a.m. on Thursday, January 26.

Rather than having to wake up to the announcement, Penn State administrators decided to be heroes and share the news just after 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Naturally, folks took to Twitter to express their excitement.

Wha…?
In the four years I was there, I recall classes being cancelled once because there was a massive blizzard and the governor declared a state of emergency. And I walked to class barefoot, uphill, three ways. https://t.co/8Ne92n3Inr

If there’s one positive from Penn State men’s basketball’s 65-45 loss to Rutgers, it’s this:

Rutgers probably won't have a snow day tomorrow LOL.

Maybe, it’s because Penn Staters will be crying. Maybe.

Rutgers beat Penn State so bad they’re shutting down the university to mourn https://t.co/txrSdsUWeh
