The University of Kentucky will be closed and in-person classes are canceled Tuesday, Jan. 27.
According to the UK Alert website, UK HealthCare will remain open.
The campus-wide email said UK’s goal is to return to normal operations Jan. 28.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning until 7 a.m. on Jan. 26.
The National Weather Service said the winter storm is expected to bring large snow and ice accumulation, impacting roadways and possibly causing power outages. Snowfall between 3 and 15 inches is expected across Kentucky and southern Indiana.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent another update, that said many roads are still slick and temperatures will continue to be dangerously low, with wind chills as low as -20 across Kentucky.
“Thankfully, Kentuckians were prepared,” Beshear said. “This is our 15th major weather disaster. We know what to do, and the steps taken by everyone made a huge difference.”
If you are on campus, the email said to exercise caution and use UK’s “Walk Safe This Winter” navigation guide, that shows which sidewalks are cleared first.
Any updates can be found on the UK Alerts website.
