University of Missouri officials say campus will remain closed Monday following a weekend of dramatic snowfall, freezing temperatures and major power outages in Columbia. 

“This is one of the worst snow storms we’ve experienced,” Gary Ward, MU's vice chancellor for operations, said in a release Sunday afternoon. “We continue to be in close contact with local and state officials on the road conditions, and our crews continue their work preparing the campus so that we can reopen as soon as possible.”

School administrators say a decision on if campus will reopen Tuesday will be released by 8 p.m. Monday night.
