Jan. 31, 2023

Forecasters are calling for a dramatic shift to much colder weather this week, with temperatures dipping into the low 20s and teens, particularly in the evening. Starting Friday, Feb. 3 and lasting through Sunday, Feb. 5, Rhode Islanders could experience record-cold weather, with temperatures dropping below zero.

Facilities Operations asks members of the University community to ensure windows and doors are closed and secured before leaving for the day and throughout weekend.

Leaving windows and doors open could result in frozen pipes and subsequent damage, as well as the loss of University property.

Also, please remember to keep the heat on in your buildings and offices.
