By Phillip Lentsch–
Wednesday, January 20 was the first snow day of the 2015-16 school year for U of L.
Multiple schools and workplaces closed their doors for the day after heavy snowfall arrived around 5 a.m. The WLKY Winter Weather Advisory reported that up to two inches of snow had accumulated on the main roads-in some locations further south it was even more.
U of L decided it wasn’t worth the risk to make students trudge through the snow due to hazardous conditions. According to John Drees, Director of Communications for the Belknap Campus, it was merely an issue of public safety.
