CU Spring Graduation Winds Up Being A Snowy Affair
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) - Spring graduation ceremonies at the University of Colorado in Boulder will be particularly memorable in 2019. Despite snowy and wet conditions, the ceremonies will go on at Folsom Field. However, commencement will be abbreviated somewhat.
The commencement speaker is broadcast journalist Alumna Savannah Sellers.
Ceremonies were set to start at 8:30 a.m.
CBS4 Meteorologist Ashton Altieri says the area around Folsom Field saw about 2.2 inches of wet snow through 9 a.m. Thursday. Light snow will continue to fall through much of the ceremony but any additional accumulation will be very minor. Meanwhile temperatures will stay in the 30s all day in Boulder.
