University officials will be watching area road conditions and other safety factors today and tonight. A major storm is scheduled to hit southern Ontario with up to 30 cm of snow and whiteout conditions.
Environment Canada says flurries and snow squalls this afternoon will become more severe tonight. Heavy snow will be whipped by gusting winds. Heavy, blowing snow is expected to continue into Wednesday.
Poor driving conditions are expected. Forecasters are warning people to be ready to drop travel plans in the next 24 hours. St. Catharines city officials are asking drivers to stay home so plows can try to keep the roads clear.
As in any major storm, Brock officials will monitor the impact on buses and other public services, and the ability of staff to keep University access routes open. Officials could curtail or cancel classes and other activities at campuses in St. Catharines and Hamilton.
