Central Michigan University’s campus was closed until 12 noon today after inclement weather forced the campus to close.

The snow storm happened overnight and, as reported by the National Weather Service, produced nearly a foot of snow.

Even after campus re-opening at noon, students still found the weather to be an inconvenience.

“It took me longer to get around because of how slippery it was outside. I fell a couple of times,” said CMU student, Andria Moscynski.

The CMU Police Department also had to work harder today because of the weather.

“When the weather is like it was today, it really inhibits my ability to do my job,” said Alyssa Anderson, employee of the CMU Police Department, “because instead of driving past cars, I have to scrape the snow off of car windows to make sure they’re valid.”

“Also, I’m short, so it’s hard when the snow comes up to your knees, she said.”

According to the National Weather Service, more snow can be expected to fall Wednesday through the weekend, with the most additional snow fall occurring Wednesday night.

The additional snow fall could be anywhere from 2 to 4 inches, which could leave snow on the road and make driving difficult for a couple of days.

This marks the second time since class started January 7 that the campus has closed due to the weather.
