Classes are on at both Hamilton school boards as well as McMaster Universty and Mohawk College Tuesday morning despite record breaking temperatures.

Today is the coldest January 7 on record in Hamilton with temperatures dropping to -24 C and a wind chill of -38 C as of  6 a.m.. Despite the cold students are expected to be in class when the bell rings according to both the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board and the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board. McMaster University and Mohawk College are open as well.

All buses are running today, but may be delayed due to the weather.

The school boards in Waterloo chose a different approach to the weather. All classes are cancelled for Waterloo Region public and Catholic schools, as well as Wellington Catholic and Upper Grand District schools due to extreme winter weather. Temperatures in the Kitchener-Waterloo region are -25 C with a wind chill dropping to -41 C.

Many Hamilton students took to Twitter to find out if they can stay in bed on this cold, cold morning.

They're not happy.
