...unlike the United States Postal Service, the Harvard ski team has been known to deliver through rain, sleet, or snow—or hail, lighting, and maybe even some unnerving gusts of wind. A weekend characterized by unpredictable weather saw the Crimson alpine and nordic teams finish in ninth place at the Williams Carnival, held at Prospect Mountain, Vt., and Jiminy Peak, Mass. The ninth-place finish in the 11-team field was the team’s fourth in as many events this season, a level of consistency that has placed higher expectations on a young but talented Harvard...
...wedding boom, though, has brought some social strains. Because good weather and good astrology coincide so rarely, millions of weddings are held on a few select nights during the cool winter season. In Delhi, that means up to 15,000 weddings a night, causing dusk-to-dawn gridlock for 14 million residents, as hundreds of thousands of guests cross town, park on the sidewalks and later weave unsteadily back home. To rein in the bacchanalia, local police have begun raiding unlicensed wedding parties and impounding gifts as evidence. Ahead of the estimated 30,000 weddings scheduled in the city...
ACTUALLY, WHATEVER CLOUDS REMAIN OVER the White House were not hard to explain, say those who have studied weather patterns between Bushland and Cheneyland.

Scheinmann ’08. The change in weather has forced many students to burrow into forgotten corners of their closets to revive that woefully neglected winter wardrobe. “I finally had the opportunity to wear my winter boots,” Emily H. Ma ’08 said. But despite the recent dip in degrees...
...ever will a snowstorm relieve undergraduates from classes. The official FAS “inclement weather” policy states that since most of Harvard’s student body and faculty live in close proximity to the college, the school “rarely declares a University-wide weather emergency.” When there is bad weather, “all staff are expected to make every effort...to be at work,” the policy reads, and employees who choose to stay at home “will normally be expected to cover the absence with...
