Please Cancel classes on Jan29-30, UW-Madison

The Issue

Severe winter conditions are dominating the Madison area. According to the weather forecast, the temperature will drop to -25°F (-32°C) on Tuesday, Jan 29 and -25°F (-34°C) on Wednesday. The wind chills are expected a drop to between -40F (-40C) and -50F (-45C) on Tuesday night. It is the coldest time in 40 years and even 10 mins outdoors without appropriate protection will be very risky for frostbite. Due to the snowy weather, bus lines are restricted and sidewalks are slippery, making it inconvenient and most importantly, unsafe for students to go to classes. For the wellbeing of students, please cancel the classes on Jan 29 and Jan 30. Thank you for supporting us and for signing the petition.
