ByMATTPETERMAN A second large snowstorm buried the Longwood Campus after more than 10 inches of snow fell Sunday night and Monday morning. The college subsequently closed cancelling all classes on Monday and early classes Tuesday. The problem of clearing the snow remained critical, but difficult because of the amount of snow that had fallen. The parking lots were left unplowed as the main arteries of the campus were cleared in an attempt to connect it to the rest of the town. The crews received some encouragement as the sun came out late Monday afternoon. The first snowstorm began Wednesday night and continued into Thursday morning. It was classified as one of the major storms to hit Longwood this decade causing the closure of the college. The snowstorm stranded many students who ordinarily would have ventured home for the

weekend. The record number of students burdened the dining hall and other services because of the shortage of employees able to come to work. For many students who missed classes on Friday, for whatever reason, relaxed with a five aay weekend which was mixed with snowball fights, football, and parties that in one instance left Par-Bils void of beer. Having so much time on hand many students caught up with school work that somehow had piled up in days past. The year 1987 will be remembered by many as a year that began with bad weather. That would seem accurate for the college again is preparing itself for yet another snowstorm expected to hit toward the end of the week. The fun that was accompanied with the first storm is dying down with each additional storm that comes turning the expected snow into a new nightmare.
