Main West Quadrangle was unusually empty this morning, as students stayed in bed thanks to Duke's decision to cancel classes because of the winter weather.
About three inches of snow fell across the Triangle region, the (Raleigh) News & Observer reported, canceling classes and closing offices throughout the area.
Down 15-501, however, Tar Heels were not so lucky. Only classes before 10:00 a.m. were canceled at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Duke will resume normal operations at 3 p.m. today, according to the DukeToday Web site, and classes will proceed as scheduled tomorrow.
Temperatures will drop to the mid teens overnight, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in its forecast for Durham, and Tuesday will be a cold day as well.
By Friday, however Duke should be experiencing warmer weather, as the highs climb back to the 60s.
