With temperatures not likely to rise above freezing today, and dipping into the teens this evening, please continue to use caution while driving. Despite freezing rain no longer falling, dangerous road conditions will remain. Officers have observed patches of black ice on campus, as well as multiple tree limbs down in roadways. Ice will like re-acumulate overnight, as thawed slush refreezes into more dangerous ice on the roadway. Please exercise good judgment in determining if you truly need to be out on the road.

**UPDATE**
0800 - Power appears to be restored to almost all of campus except for University place 2. University Police and other university personnel are continuing to monitor conditions.

Unless you absolutely have to drive for an emergency, please avoid driving on campus roadways. University Police will still be available to respond to calls and emergencies as needed.
