Snowed In at Harvard
It's six days until Christmas, and unless you're in LifeSci 1a, LPS A, Chem 30, or one of the other classes with an exam Monday (hey, no one said being a pre-med would be easy), there's only one thing on your mind: you want to get the hell out of here.

Healy declared snow emergencies in Boston and Cambridge, and flights and buses are being cancelled left and right. Find out if your travel plans were affected after the jump.
