Campus Operations is busy making sure students make it safely to their finals this week.

“We’re trying to figure it out as we go along,” said student worker for Campus Operations Erik Robertson. “Part of the main thing is to … clear out the parts that are more slippery and throw some salt on them.”

Although slick weather conditions made it difficult for some workers to come in, many campus employees and student workers were still able to come in and spend their weekend afternoon shoveling snow out of the way in high-traffic walkways and steps.

“It’s not so bad because the sun’s out,” Robertson said. ”I’m actually staying pretty warm, had to take my coat off because I was getting too hot.”

However, due to a low supply of salt, Campus Operations will be mainly using sand to help melt away the snow.

Ken Janecek, a temperature control technician with Campus Operations for eight years, has never seen a snow storm quite as bad as this. Janecek is expecting a busy day tomorrow after many pipes have been reported broken, including a fire hydrant across from Fenton Hall that spewed water all over 13th Avenue Saturday night.

Campus Operations have marked off super slick areas with yellow caution tape and advise students to go around in order to avoid any accidents.
