Although most of Eugene remains frozen, it is unclear how the weather will affect finals week at the University of Oregon, or the ability to travel from the area.
According to the UO Human Resources website, “Because it is a residential campus with 24/7 operations, the University of Oregon historically has not closed during inclement weather. In rare circumstances, however, extremely dangerous weather conditions may force cancellation of classes or activities for part or all of a day.”
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are supposed to raise throughout the week and rain is likely on Thursday, Dec. 12, with a high of 42.
