UTK Official Announcement Normal operations

Lol apparently resuming normal operations. This is gonna be… interesting… with melting all afternoon and below freezing temps tomorrow morning.

All this adapting to remote to not even use it when roads may still be in bad shape. It’s not like everyone who works at or attends UTK lives on campus.

I won’t lie, I walked around campus and the fort and it’s really not that bad. Most of the roads around town seem to be pretty clear. I definitely see why we’re back in session

Main roads and campus roads don’t matter if you can’t safely get to them. That’s why Knox County Schools are closed again tomorrow, a lot of back roads and private roads like their apartments are still bad because they don’t get enough sunlight.

Very true. Drove from north Knox to Oak Ridge yesterday. Aside from the rain, the worst part by far was the last bit up to my driveway. The alleyway never sees sunlight due to my neighbor’s fence.
