The University is “monitoring” a storm that could potentially leave D.C. blanketed with almost a foot of snow through Tuesday, according to a campus advisory posted Monday afternoon.

The advisory stated that GW is watching for “possible inclement weather in the Washington metropolitan area,” and that updates will be posted to the website.

Dean of Student Affairs Peter Konwerski posted on Twitter that GW would most likely make a decision about canceling classes early Tuesday morning.

Probably early AM. #BeSafe “@cfromperson: when will GW announce a snow day? Trying to change my flight to avoid missing class tomorrow.”
