<p>Despite Montreal getting a major snow and ice storm today, exams will go on as scheduled.</p>
<p>From the McGill website:</p>
<p>Exams and Winter Storm update / Les examens et une temp</p>
<p>Back a few years ago, 42 cm (16.5 in) of snow in one night had McGill allow students to come up to two hours late for exams without any penalty on that day (it was December 16).</p>
<p>The only time McGill ever closed for weather in recent memory is during the 1998 Ice Storm, 6 working days (at least 1 less than all other universities in Montreal). So it takes nothing short of a major disaster to cancel classes (and possibly exams, but that wasn’t during the exam period).</p>
