Wintry Mix




Parking garages at the University of Missouri emptied more quickly than usual today as professors released students and supervisors released staff early in response to a fast-moving winter storm. One student in the School of Natural Resources compared the precipitation to the futuristic ice cream, Dippin' Dots. Air temperatures dropped from highs in the middle 50s to lows near 12 degrees farenheight. The slippery conditions were in sharp contrast to the relatively mild winter central Missouri has seen thus far. The intersectin of Rollins Road and Virginia Avenue is a campus hot spot for vehicular and pedestrian activity. Slick conditions slowed both this afternoon.
