Foul Weather Information

For weather-related announcements and special notices, call the Smith Information Line, 585-INFO (585-4636).

For information about delayed openings, early closings, cancellation of classes, curtailed operations at Smith or weather emergency information, call the Smith Information Line at 585-INFO, the college’s only official weather source. An updated announcement of storm delays or closings will be available after 6 a.m. on the affected workday. Every effort will be made to post an announcement to the Smith Web site as well. 

Also, tune into the following media stations for news on delayed openings or cancellations: WHMP (Northampton) 1400 AM/99.3FM; WFCR (Amherst) 88.5; WHYN (Springfield) 93.1; WWLP-TV Channel 22; or WGGB-TV Channel 40. WGGB Channel 40 offers text message or e-mail alerts whenever Smith College has a delayed opening, closing or cancellation of classes. To sign up, visit www.wggb.com.

Please note, however, that classes continue to meet in stormy weather except in blizzard conditions, in which case a message will be on the Smith Information Line. Individual faculty members may cancel classes because of stormy weather at their own discretion, although those cancellations will not be publicized on the INFO line or the abovementioned media stations.

Also note that the Campus School at Smith College has its own procedures for closing and follows Northampton Public School snow day calls. Notification of a Campus School closing is submitted only to the television stations by the Campus School principal and is not put on the Smith Information Line.
