The University of Mississippi’s Oxford campus will be closed on Monday, Feb. 15, due to inclement winter weather that will impact travel conditions on roadways. Regional campuses will make individual announcements about operating hours on their campus websites.
According to The Weather Channel, one to six inches of snow is expected to fall in Oxford on Monday, and the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Lafayette County.
“Students, faculty and staff are urged not to travel to campus as the Oxford Police Department is reporting icing on roadways that already contributed to several accidents,” a weather alert email to the university community read on Sunday, Feb. 14. “A combination of ice and snow accumulation is expected tonight and Monday and temperatures forecast to remain well below freezing for at least a couple of days, resulting in hazardous driving conditions.”
