Scenes Across Campus From Ice Storm
An ice storm shut down classes at the University of Arkansas beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 27, after freezing rain and sleet pelted the northern region of Arkansas. It was the 19th time during its history that the university has cancelled classes as a result of weather.
Although much of northwest Arkansas was without power for Tuesday and Wednesday, most of the university campus had electricity, heat and water. Essential staff served meals to students who live on campus, and workers in department of facilities management began the arduous task of clearing the sidewalks and streets across campus.
