海角直播 crews first treated porches on campus buildings,听walkways from the residence halls to food services buildings听and the area around the campus police station.听 Crews then moved to treat other walkways and common areas.听 Today they are doing curb cuts and accessibility ramps.
鈥淲e鈥檙e trying to find sand, but supplies are low because there is such a huge area demand for it,鈥 Casagrande said.
鈥淭he roads are the hardest part.听 The colder it gets, the more difficult it is for the chemical to do its job because it melts the ice, which then refreezes.鈥 Casagrande said. 鈥淯ntil the temperature gets above 32 degrees,听it will be difficult to clear the roadways and sidewalks.鈥澨
As the inclement weather continued, 海角直播 was forced to close its main campus and 海角直播-in-Plano听through Sunday听because of hazardous driving conditions听across North Texas.
Although 海角直播's main campus and 海角直播-in-Plano are closed Saturday and Sunday, the following听are open:
Saturday
