Students trekking to class through freezing winds and icy sidewalks Thursday evening may have been in for a surprise when they walked into an empty lecture hall.
With more than half a foot of snow on the ground and reports of continued snowfall, strong winds and ââ?¬Å?extremely hazardous travel conditionsââ?¬Â coming from the National Weather Service yesterday afternoon, the University of Wisconsin cancelled all classes scheduled to begin after 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
