Yeah. I'll be pretty surprised if there's any school Tuesday or Wednesday.

Wonder if ISU will cancel class. They actually canceled once due to cold when I was in school. I think the wind chill was around -30 or something like that. I lived on Welch and my dumb ass walked all the way to Mole Bio only to realize class had been cancelled when I got there. I actually got a nose bleed from the cold on the walk.
I vividly remember standing at the bus stop at the end of Welch with a -40 wind chill. Had to be the coldest I've ever been. That would be in... 2008 I think.
I want to say my freshman year (2003-2004) I remember a four day stint where the temp never got above 0. Waiting for CyRide felt like an eternity.
BACK IN MY DAY! (2010-2013) it was cold as **** walking home from the bars. no ubers no nothing. just a man with a flip phone and the prospect of 2 totinos pizzas
Ah, the good old days. When Totinos were round like God intended.
73 Lincoln way blocked with drifts, no school and grocery store South of Dunkin’s with easy access to cheap beer. The good old days.
It will be interesting to see how the cold effects the attendance at the MBB and WBB games Tuesday and Wednesday.
Johnny’s does. Lower west doors have a place to hang coats as well.
I think Colorado being the opponent will have more to do with it.
Now that students and professors are more used to doing classes virtually, ISU has been more willing in the past few years to cancel in-person classes. Both this year and last year, the first day of the spring semester had a campus closure (no in-person classes) due to extreme cold/wind chills.
I hope it doesn't. I think icy, slick roads are worse. Bundle up!

This is why I'm glad my seats are in the very last row of the upper deck. There's a nice ledge behind the seats where we can stash coats and stuff. Heck - some people hang 3M hooks up as coat hooks.
I remember the nasty ice storm that came through the Friday of that Spring Break. I was working late in lab and left the next morning to go back to WI.
After I ended up sliding into the median near Dows, I figured I'd wait for the salt trucks to come through first at the next exit.
I will affect the women's game more than the men's I would think. The women tend to have an older crowd, and I would guess many of us will stay at home and not want to get out when its -13 below. My wife and I have already decided we will not be going if it gets that cold, she really struggles walking and breathing in the cold air.
My son claims they called for pizza deliveries then when the delivery driver would show up they would pool some cash and the delivery driver would take them all home.
