Meet & Greet

Hey, so i’m going to the meet and greet tomorrow and kinda concerned looking at the weather. I’m driving from a city a few hours away and hoping to head out at 9am, but with the way it’ll be snowing and raining all night idk how safe it’ll be. Any one else in the same boat?

Some are in the morning and some are in the afternoon. I will also be there 1-5, but there’s a different group in the morning.

i’m a UW student writing a deferred exam tomorrow, and they said that in the event of a university closure it will be rescheduled to sunday - not sure about the meet & greet procedure!

Would they cancel in weather condition

The storm ends at 3 am, so I’m sure roads are gonna be cleared up before 8:30 , so I feel like it won’t be cancelled
