The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Cold Warning for our area beginning late Thursday evening through noon on Friday. Windchills could drop below –35 degrees during this time, which could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. Extremely cold conditions will continue through Saturday. We urge faculty, staff, and students to use good judgment and avoid serious risks during extreme weather conditions.   

We encourage all students to check with the facility to confirm hours of operation prior to travelling in extreme weather conditions. 

For additional information and FAQs, review the university’s Extreme Weather page and these winter weather reminders for employees.
