With ice raining from the sky and rain sticking to the roads, Gov. Jeff Colyer ordered all state government agencies to close from midnight to 5 p.m. Thursday through his Twitter account. But within minutes the tweet was deleted, and he posted a correction, saying the closure applies only to Shawnee County — the county of the state’s capital. 

The Sunflower, which prints Mondays and Thursdays, has delayed its Thursday paper and will be available in racks Friday morning. Wichita State has not made an announcement about closures, and classes will resume as scheduled unless an announcement is made. 

CORRECTION: Due to safety concerns regarding the winter storm forecast for the state Wednesday evening and continuing through late Thursday afternoon Feb. 22, state government will be closed for non-essential state employees in Shawnee County beginning midnight Thurs. until 5pm

Wichita State made an announcement Wednesday afternoon, telling students: “Your safety is of the utmost importance, and we encourage you to use your discretion and contact your instructor or supervisor if you feel it is not feasible for you to make it to campus. Any closings or delays will be announced via the Rave alert system, wichita.edu and @WichitaState on Twitter and @Wichita.State on Facebook.
