What's this?

They actually closed school on (had to be) Friday. My dorm room (prairie

side of O'Shag, 4th floor) didn't have heat. Strange piping in that the prairie side, every even floor, didn't get steam. The rest of the dorm was fine. We spent the day across the hall in a friend's room, and then I slept with multiple layers that night in my own room. Woke up able to see my own breath in my dorm room.

Lasted through the weekend, because it was almost as cold for that Super Bowl. 49'ers vs Dolphins.
