WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 11 AM EST MONDAY.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for tonight and tomorrow morning. Click through for the text of the announcement as it was when I retrieved it from AccuWeather.com this morning. I plan to be on campus for a meeting at 8:00am, but keep an eye on the University's emergency closing information page. I'll try to remember to post an update tomorrow morning around 7:30. If you look at the syllabus, you'll see that tomorrow's lecture is our last scheduled meeting, since I'll be out of town on Wednesday. I had planned to have course evaluations done tomorrow. If tomorrow's lecture is canceled, please plan to show up at 10:30 on Wednesday for a few minutes so that you can evaluate me then. If I don't see you tomorrow, have a safe and wonderful holiday!
