With classes canceled Monday and Tuesday, WKU students headed out to enjoy the snow on campus. 2-3 inches of snow poured over 4 inches of sleet in Bowling Green, according to the National Weather Service and White Squirrel Weather. In an email to WKU faculty & staff, provost Cheryl Stevens said “Days like this are a gift. Please enjoy!”
