This will alleviate expected hazardous driving conditions and give crews time to safely clear roadways and sidewalks. The university’s health care system and hospitals will remain open, as will essential university functions.\n\nFaculty and staff who are able to work remotely should do so on Wednesday February 22. Please check with your immediate supervisors for more information about your individual units and departments.\n\nGroups who have scheduled events or meetings on campus this evening are encouraged to reschedule.\n\nUniversity personnel are monitoring the storm and snow clearing efforts and will notify the University community about campus operations again on Wednesday, February 22, 2023.\n\nPlease check for text and email alerts about potential impacts and watch alert.utah.edu for updates.",
