Most workers were let off from 5 p.m. to midnight last night, at which point the full staff of 30 plowers came back on to prepare streets and sidewalks for this morning.
Some class cancellations yesterday were only tangentially weather-related. Ec1010b: "Macroeconomic Theory" students were e-mailed 30 minutes before lecture saying that University Museum, containing the Geological Sciences Lecture Hall, was locked and class would not be held, according to Head Teaching Fellow Melvyn Teo.
"HUPD told me they were the only ones who could open it," Teo said.
Some students were upset that their economics class had been cancelled, because there is a midterm tomorrow.
Though the University's museums were closed, the libraries remained open, as did the Registrar's office despite being short-staffed.
