Weather Turns For Worse, College Continues Operation
The weather has gotten worse since about 5 PM today…the snow has changed over to ice, making walking conditions nearly impossible. Physical Plant was trying to drive up the mall around 6 PM, leading to spinning tires and a nearly-spun blue panel van. Supposedly they have been doing preventative salting and ice-removal
Ice is going to be building up throughout the night, causing dangerous conditions for students who are lucky enough to have morning classes. Just keep your safety walking tips in mind and stay safe…unless the college does cancel classes tomorrow. But the college hasn’t taken a snow day in 40 years. The last day of classes missed was a couple years ago when a transformer blew and campus had no power for a couple days.
So odds are low on not having classes tomorrow. But be safe no matter what guys and gals.
