[SUNY Plattsburgh Families] Message to your students

[Stephen Matthews]

Campus Community:

Good morning folks,

We are off and running for the Spring 2023 semester for sure!  We are
expecting some unusually cold weather this weekend and I wanted to share a
message that was just sent out to your students regarding that weather.
Please do all that you can to support the message to be cautious about the
time spent outside and to bundle up if they must venture outside.  Stay
warm wherever you are as well.

All the best




Please be advised that the National Weather Service in Burlington reports
dangerous cold wind chills for Friday into Saturday.

   - Wind Chill Warning in effect for all of Vermont & northern New York
   from 1 a.m. Friday to 1 p.m. Saturday

   combined with very brisk northwest winds will create dangerously cold wind
   chills of -15° to -35°F.
   - Friday night will be extremely cold with temperatures -15° to -25°F
   and wind chills of -30° to -45°F.
