Further weather woes are predicted for Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday night, a mixture of rain and freezing rain will last into Thursday morning.

The mixture will continue Thursday afternoon and evening, along with possible thunderstorms and snowfall, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologist Wayne Hoepner said.

There is a chance of flooding associated with the rainfall because of snow-clogged drains.

Bundling up is an easy way to prevent becoming an icicle, but it also can be a game of treading the line between warm and overheated and also causes a hassle once people get to their destinations.

Elementary education sophomore Catherine Evans said layering up can be a hassle when rushing to class.

“I wear like 10 layers and then sweat on the way to class, because I walk too fast,” Evans said.

Evans said with temperatures being their lowest in the morning, she often opts for the bus in lieu of walking to where she needs to go.

It appears mid-Michigan is not as close to the end of winter as originally thought, with an estimated four to six inches of snow expected to accumulate by Tuesday morning and more inclement weather on the way.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for snowfall and blowing winds in Ingham County until 4 a.m. Tuesday.

Temperatures can be so foreboding that some students shy away from braving the cold. It can be especially difficult to leave a warm bed when the thermometer dips so low.

When wind chill and precipitation are factored in, the thought of venturing outside is less than motivating. Biting winds and blowing snow offers little incentive for students to leave their warm beds.

Advertising junior John Winningham said it’s much harder to find motivation on cold mornings.

“I probably stay in bed longer, and I don’t want to go to class as much,” Winningham said. “I just want to watch TV all day.”

Economics sophomore Erica Lascott said she’s more likely to stay in bed longer and doesn’t want to attend classes in such conditions.

Skipping class, although never ideal, becomes even more appealing in the freezing temperatures.

The idea of brutal morning temperatures is enough to drive her to skip her morning classes, Lascott said.
