The campus closed early on the evening of Monday, Jan. 26, until Wednesday, Jan. 28, due to tentative inclement weather predictions.

The school community was made aware of the early closure at 1:47 P.M., Monday afternoon.

Jazzman’s Café, Sandella’s and Cav’s Corner all adopted abbreviated service hours, but not The RAC Grille, which was operating on a normal schedule.

Aside from the storm affecting the dining schedules, it also influenced mass times, shuttle services, the Dixon Center’s hours and other evening events.

A scheduled trip to the Flyers vs. Coyotes game, sponsored by the SEal Office was canceled due to the storm.

“I was looking forward to going to my first NHL, so it was pretty disappointing that my plans had to be cancelled,” Mia Scocozzo, junior finance and international business double major, said. “If I knew the weather wasn’t going to be as bad as rumored, I definitely would have driven there.”

In light of having Tuesday off, much of the campus was up late into the morning hours, Frankie Formasano, freshman said.

“I didn’t know a person that was asleep at a normal hour on Monday night,” Formasano said.

Regardless of classes being canceled, Cabrini sports teams still had practice. Softball even ran drills in Dixon’s unlit gym during Tuesday afternoon’s campus-wide blackout, which was not related to the storm.

In regards to the expectation of the storm not coming to fruition, public safety officer Mike Barrett was very pleased.

“We’re really glad it [Juno] didn’t happen,” Barrett said, “of course it makes evens life easier.”
