Happy Arbor Day from The College of Wooster Grounds Dept! This year's tree is a fruiting pear tree and it's planted in an area that we call Ebert Woods by the old Tennis Courts! @arborday

Fellow Scots....it snowed, A LOT.... Grounds have been in since 5:00am and we're calling it a day. Every lot has been plowed (some twice) every sidewalk has been plowed two or three times. All building entrances and steps have been shoveled. Grounds will be back in at 3am!

[Grounds Department @COWgrounds]

Good morning Scots! The grounds department has treated all sidewalks and parking lots as well as steps and building entrances. With a little cooperation from mother nature, things should be clearing off soon. There will be spots of ice as the rain continues to freeze

[NWS Cleveland @NWSCLE]

Here is a look at the timing of freezing rain Wednesday night into early Thursday. Expect freezing rain to arrive late Wednesday evening into Wednesday night from the southwest. The icing will end into Thursday morning as temperatures warm and precipitation exits. #OHwx #PAwx

Good afternoon Scots! If you see us out salting perfectly clear and dry sidewalks, we're getting ready for the potential freezing rain headed our way. Looks like it could hit around midnight and be gone very early in the morning. We'll be here early ready to fend it off!

[NWS Cleveland @NWSCLE]

Snow has begun to fall this morning & is expected to continue for much of NE OH & NW PA into tonight. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for those areas with 2-4" of snow is possible. Impacts to the morning and evening commutes today are possible. #ohwx #pawx

Good morning Scots! This unexpected rain/drizzle (it was supposed to be a light dusting of snow) has caused some icy conditions sporadically across campus. We're on it, please be careful walking around. Have a great day!
