Almost two inches of snow covered campus early Thursday morning. Classes have been canceled for Thursday, as the snow has quickly accumulated, in addition to low wind chills. Davidson County has been issued a Winter Storm Warning that began at 6 p.m. Wednesday and will be in effect until noon today.

University offices are closed, except for those essential to the safety and welfare of campus residents.

Lipscomb University experienced its first real winter weather of 2015, which brought the usually active campus almost to a standstill.

Lipscomb cancelled classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon during the week of Feb. 16.
