This would mark the third time in MSU's history that the university would close. Due to 20 inches of snow, the university shut down for two days (January 26-27).
The blizzard, known as the Cleveland Superbomb, was one of the worst in Midwest history. Strong winds caused large snowdrifts, which led to untraversable roads. Michigan Governor William Milliken declared a state of emergency.
