Yes, virtually every school district in the state got off. My sister got off. My parents got off. Every institution in Madison is shut down. Does that include UW-Madison? No, we were only about 30 inches too short of the requirement for closing at this school (Disclaimer: Not supported by facts). No, our lovable Chancellor Wiley did not believe that the weather was threatening enough to the students safety to cancel classes. Fortunately for him, he does not have to walk anywhere, he has a cozy office in Bascom Hall.
The students, on the other hand, had to encounter menacing ice falling from the sky. No, it wasn't big snow flakes, it was ice. To the school's credit, they did eventually give in and cancel classes... at 3:30 pm... 15 minutes after my last class ended. Although, Wiley didn't do it, a provost did. Where was Wiley? Hmmm.
I'll leave you with some pics for evidence.
