Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has declared a statewide state of emergency.

Most, if not all of our UW Campuses are closed from 5 p.m. today until at least noon on Thursday.
That is astounding to me.

This follows on the heels of a significant storm on Monday where many of us in Wisconsin had about a foot of snow, give or take, and enough wind to cause white out conditions.

This is potentially deadly, so everyone please stay safe and warm! And PLEASE bring your dogs in just for a couple of days!
