Harvard Today: February 13, 2014
It’s Thursday, which not only means it’s almost Friday, but also that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! While some lucky people may be going on romantic dates, many are eagerly awaiting their Datamatch results. For those of you who are looking for love or just looking for plans that mean you won't spend your Friday night eating Oreos and cynically commenting your way through a rom-com movie marathon, the survey is due at 11:59 p.m. tonight.
UPDATED: Feb. 13, 2014 at 2:01 p.m.
IN THE ATMOSPHERE
There's good and bad news today. While the temperature rises to a balmy high of 38 degrees, it’s also going to be snowing and raining all day. Don’t forget your umbrella or you’ll probably give up walking to class halfway there.

PHOTO OF THE DAY
Davie, who prefers to be only referred to by his last name, is one of many homeless people in Harvard Square that remain outdoors during the recent cold weather and snowstorms. While he occasionally sleeps at the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter, a spot is not always guaranteed due to a large demand.
To learn more about homelessness in Harvard Square, please read the first in a semester-long series of Crimson articles on the subject. You can also visit the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter's website to find out more about the work they do around the Square.
