Temperatures are dropping, and with that comes the threat of snow. So what happens at Western when the snow falls?
On the morning of a predicted snowfall, staff from Western’s Facilities Management arrive on campus between 3-5 a.m. to assess the state of the university from a safety standpoint. Based on those conditions, university administrators will make a decision to either remain open and on a normal schedule, have a delayed opening, or to close the university for the day and cancel all classes.
