Hello Biology Community,

I have been asked to forward the following message about predictions for bad weather in the coming hours.

The policy information below applies to students, but I am sending it along to students for your information about weather predications.

Please check the weather report for your area and use your judgement about when to travel home this evening.

Safe travels.

A brief but intense snow squall is expected to move through Cambridge between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. Near whiteout conditions are expected, followed by a flash freeze. Please use extreme caution if commuting during this time.

Supervisors are asked for flexibility in accommodating employee requests for early departures, and the Excused Lateness Policy (https://policies.mit.edu/employment-policy-manual/50-pay-policies/57-lateness#5.7.2) is in effect for employees arriving for evening shifts between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. tonight.

As always, please monitor the MIT Emergency Information website (emergency.mit.net<http://emergency.mit.net/>), social media (@MITPrepared<https://twitter.com/mitprepared>), or the Emergency Line (617-253-7669 or 617-253-SNOW) for information regarding MIT's operational status.
