The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather warning that will be in effect from 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 5, to 7 a.m. Monday, Jan. 6. The forecast predicts snow and potentially hazardous driving conditions across the state of Indiana, including the Muncie area. It is predicted that the Muncie area may get around 6 inches of snow, as well as low temperatures and ice.
Students may return to campus residence halls starting at noon Saturday, Jan. 4. According to a Ball State Communication Center brief, "New students to Ball State housing should plan to check in between 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Saturday or anytime after 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. Returning students may arrive back to the halls beginning at noon on Saturday."
However, the dining halls across campus will not be open Saturday. Woodworth Dining and North Dining will open at 11:00 a.m. Sunday, and Tom John’s Food Shop will open at 5:00 p.m. the same day.
