Winter Storm Fern has brought extremely cold temperatures to our area.

Roads are dangerous—please stay home if you can and use caution if you must travel. Consider lowering your thermostat slightly to reduce strain on furnaces and electricity use.
Stay away from any downed power lines.
Our prayers are with our friends to the south and east experiencing major outages due to ice. We were blessed.
Thank you to Team SEMO for restoring outages and clearing our campuses in Bloomfield and Sikeston.
