WSU’s Pullman campus canceled classes after 2 p.m. Wednesday in response to the extreme weather conditions.
The closure came as Pullman was in the midst of a winter storm that was scheduled to last until 10 p.m.
According to Weather.com, residents of Pullman, as well as six other towns, can expect heavy snow, between 0.5 – 1 inch per hour throughout the afternoon, slippery road conditions and areas of heavy snow blowing.
As a response to these conditions, WSU issued an alert at 1:13 p.m. that they were suspsending operations after 2 p.m., which was intended to allow non-essential personnel and students to have additional travel time to leave campus before the storm worsens.
“We anticipate resuming normal operations tomorrow,” the statement reads.

WSU Pullman suspended normal operations and classes starting at 2 p.m. Wednesday Jan. 17, in Pullman, Wash.
