Jeff is a senior finally runnin' the SC Photo Staff. He is easily irritated and has been known to curse loudly when complemented on his pictures. So just don't do it. Ever. When not hiding from his invisible friends in the Chips lab, Jeff can probably be found hiding in the auditorium or on the sideline of some Blair sports game, with his camera of course.

snoWatch: The mayhem continues

By Jeff Lautenberger, Payal Patnaik | Feb. 12, 2007, midnight | In Humor »

4:30 p.m. Thursday update: Well, our streak of perfect accuracy has finally ended with tomorrow's unexpected closure (who saw that coming, seriously?) You gotta admit though, snoWatch had this storm on lockdown from the beginning and we're in no position to stop gloating about it. Looks like we're getting that "lovely seven day weekend" after all, and despite what Jeff said earlier, he will be back (if it ever snows again) to write snoWatch. Until then, we're out!
