The last time the university closed was in 2004, but it was during Christmas break, so it didn't matter. Before 2004, no admin can remember when it closed. We didn't really get much snow, just a few inches of rain/ice/wintery mix. Our staff is mostly commuters, like the school, so we had a about 1/4 of our normal staff. Our Web editor became the photo editor, Ad Manager became a jack-of-all trades and our copy editor became a little of anything we needed at the time. This is the second week in a row NKU has had delays or closures on our production day. We're weekly and sick of snowy Tuesdays. No one can believe that Northern Kentucky University closed today.

Many faculty canceled classes. A few members of the Alestle staff that made it in to work wrote a breaking news story and posted it online this afternoon with a flash slideshow. (Needless to say, their adviser stayed home.) We publish twice a week, so a print version came out this morning, and we don't publish again until Thursday.
