As winter weather settles in, employees across Duke are navigating the day in different ways, some supporting essential operations across campus and others staying at home. Please take care, follow university guidance, and check https://emergency.duke.edu for updates throughout the event.

If you are at home or on campus and are safely able to capture a winter weather moment or scene from where you are, we invite you to share it in the comments.
