After two changes in date, Snowing in the South was postponed indefinitely Wednesday.
The event was postponed because of “poor field conditions on the Parade Ground, inclement weather and security complications,” according to Residential Life.
Snowing in the South was originally rescheduled because of rainy weather in November and too-warm weather Monday, said Steve Waller, director of ResLife.
This time, the program was postponed because of scheduling conflicts with the snow provider and security personnel, according to Jay High, ResLife communications manager.
High said Wednesday night was the only available time for the snow company, but ResLife was unable to obtain LSU Police Department officers for security.
ResLife also announced that it plans to find “exciting ways” to “rejuvenate” Snowing in the South.
Snowing in the South has not experienced as much participation as other ResLife events like Splatterbeat, so ResLife is looking into other options, High said.
High said the revised event will still involve snow and ice because of a contractual obligation with The Sno-Mobile of Louisiana.
“We’re not sure what we’re going to do yet,” High said. “We’ll be deciding over the next few weeks.”
