Weather closes Penn State for first time in 8 years

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 12:25

Penn State's main campus closed Wednesday for the first time in eight years due to icy roads and forecasts for more snow.


The university said dining halls will remain open Wednesday and a 6 p.m. men's basketball game is still on, but the library and fitness facilities are closed.


Classes are scheduled to resume Thursday.


The National Weather Service forecasts a temperature dive and two to four inches of snow Wednesday.


Icy conditions Tuesday night forced the visiting Ohio State basketball team to land in Latrobe, about 110 miles southwest of State College. The Columbus Dispatch reported the team's flight and bus ride took eight hours.


Penn State's Campus Weather Service said the university last cancelled classes for an entire day on Feb. 14, 2007, due to a foot of snow.
