Purdue University announced Wednesday that in-person classes on Thursday would be moved online or canceled as a winter storm continued across Indiana.
Non-essential campus employees were told to work remotely if possible.
The Lafayette and West Lafayette Police Departments also issued warnings Wednesday, urging drivers to stay off increasingly hazardous roads unless absolutely necessary.
West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis said the city was “aggressively” plowing city streets in an attempt to stay ahead of a winter storm expected to last until Friday.
“Hypothetically, if it snows another foot, we have people that are out there right now doing everything they can to make sure that the roads will be somewhat passable in the event of an emergency,” he said. “Now, having said that: please don’t go out and test it.”
CityBus announced it would be moving to its highest level of service reduction as road conditions worsened Wednesday afternoon, with all bus routes ending earlier than scheduled. Updates on affected routes can be found at gocitybus.com/alerts.
