This evening I will evaluate implications for Wednesday’s classes and post accordingly. Forecasts often talk a big game and don’t deliver. But in today’s case, the snow, ice, and generally bad driving conditions have actually arrived.
If you have any mishaps with transportation or the cold weather in general, please contact me and I’ll you help however I can. Seriously, I’ll come pull you out of a ditch…or we will both get stuck in the ditch and then you’ve got company.
Everyone stay safe and warm.
