No kidding... this is how bad this storm is expected to be...
Special weather statement for Thursday Feb. 20: Campus to close at noon
Feb. 19, 2014
Dear students and colleagues:
Due to forecasts for heavy snow beginning Thursday, Feb. 20, in the early afternoon we are closing our campus at noon. All afternoon and evening classes are cancelled and business offices will be closed. The University will continue to provide essential services such as police, facilities and dining. Please note that all classes and regular operations will be held before noon, and classes that are scheduled to run past 12 p.m. should end at noon.
Please take care during this dangerous storm. We plan to be back to normal operations and classes on Friday.
Sincerely,
Joe Gow, Chancellor
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
A campus rarely closes. This is what's expected to force a campus to close: a really bad blizzard. Starting Thursday am: Snow (6-9") intermixed with sleet, thunderstorms during the afternoon and more snow predicted in addition to 45mph winds in the next 24 hours. By the time it's all over Friday, a whole foot of snow could have been dumped. OK recap snow, ice, rain on top, more snow and wind. Translated:A real mess.
We shall see. But I guarantee you one thing we will be staying put back here in the End of the Rainbow Valley until this blizzard has passed.
In case you need some reading for the day here are links to 2 entries from this past week that barely got viewed... Was it the pictures/ the title that didn't intrigue you?
Jump Baby, Jump
I didn't see the other entries, we have to take the PC down to the office to use the internet, so I haven't been checking in very much lately. I'll have to give them a look.
