Spotted: It’s not time for winter hats just yet!

November 9th, 2009
This guy must not have read the weather report... it's far too warm for a winter hat today!

Someone should have told Jonsson that it's not cold enough for a winter hat today! He must not get the weather channel.

Well, for those of you who don’t like winter, I hope you had a great day.  For the rest of us, it looks like we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to break out the hat and gloves, since Troy has daytime highs in the 50’s for the rest of the week.

Enjoy it while it lasts!  Go for a walk, read a book outside, run or bike to your favorite place, or maybe just sit and watch the sunset.

It’s not always so sunny in Troy… but we were curious about how the Capital District compares to other places in the United States.  We were hoping that we would find some comforting data that we could be worse off, but as it turns out, according to city-data.com, Albany ranks 88th on the list of least amount of sunshine for all cities in the Nation over 50,000.  But, it turns out that we have sunshine for 52.7% of the time!  Unfortunately, the months with the lowest sunshine are those when it is most cold.  Check out the graph below!

Tired of being sick? Get some sleep!

Looking around campus lately I can’t help but be a little anxious: I hope I don’t get a cold! Everyone seems to be sniffling, sneezing and coughing like the plague has set in. Well, according to some research done by some people, “sleeping less than seven hours a night has been shown to increase the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain and hardening of the arteries.” Yikes!

Well if that’s a tall order (we are students after all) then any number of these might work in addition to the standard cold meds. Oh and those tissues with lotion? A godsend.

Snow coming to Troy

January 27th, 2009

Snow!!!

Hunker down! Buy the food you’ll need! Troy is getting 6-12 inches of snow in the next 24 hours!

Be sure to check the parking website for info regarding where to park and whether the shuttles are running tomorrow before heading out to classes. There’s a good chance that things might get cancelled! As always, RPInfo will also have a lot of vital information.
