It was a sunny, 85-degree day in August, when bad weather struck University Board’s “Quaking in the Quad” a few years ago.

Within a couple of hours into the event, a thunderstorm advisory was broadcast.

“Torrential rain soaked everything up,” said Ceci Brinker, University Board adviser.

The rain caused electrical hazards with cords and other equipment.

UB, however, has had few incidents with bad weather like Tuesday’s snowstorm, Brinker said.

“Flights become a big issue if airports are down,” Brinker said. “We’ve had that happen, but there haven’t been a lot of incidents like that.”

In the event of bad weather, UB notifies the campus as quickly as possible that an event is canceled.

As for the performer, UB tries to reschedule the event for a later date, but that is not guaranteed.

“(Rescheduling the artist) depends on the availability of venues, what’s open in the spring schedule still and, if there is something that is mutual, then we simply keep the contract and make revisions,” Brinker said.

If UB and the artist cannot reach a mutual agreement, the contract is voided and UB looks to book some other event.

“It really doesn’t hurt UB,” Brinker said. “On a day like (Tuesday), most students would probably not come out for a show.”

As for this week, the bad weather will not affect UB because no events were scheduled because of the three-day weekend.

UB finds that the attendance for events on three-day weekends is sub-par because most students either go home or make plans out of town, Brinker said.

“Weather can be a deterrent, but if it happens, you pretty much have to go with the flow and try to work around it as best as possible,” Brinker said.
