Cancelled- SIUE Workday- Saturday, February 6th

Straight from Kirby:

I am canceling the workday. Even w/o the snow, the mud on the trails will make it very dangerous to get around with sharp tools. Please pass the word. We will reschedule when it is less dangerous and probably snowy. Watch for it.
