A recent cold spell has caused students on the University of Wisconsin campus to remain indoors and take extra measures to stay warm. UW freshman Conner Bills said though the cold temperatures have not generally affected his daily activities, they have made it difficult to be social. “If I have to do something outside I’ll suffer through it and try to dress as best I can,” Bills said. “As a freshman, COVID restrictions in the dorms have made it difficult to hang out with my friends because in the nicer weather we could usually do outdoor activities.” UW freshman Tommy Kriewaldt also said he tries to stay mostly inside but layers up properly when venturing outside. Kriewaldt said he usually bundles up by wearing a shirt and sweatshirt underneath a heavy winter coat along with a winter hat.
