Last month, the University of Montevallo was covered with a layer of snow and ice. Earlier in the day there was a severe threat of snow south of the campus in effect. A simple light dusting was to be expected and the university decided to still hold classes.

It wasn't soon enough though because as soon as hundreds of cars were pouring out of campus the road conditions worsened instantly. The main road coming into the university was closed by police. Many students wondered if the decision to close was made too late.
Student Lucas Burns supported the campus and didn't expect the snow either. "They probably should have closed a
little bit sooner. So I would have gotten the email and not come in today. But, I’m glad they’re doing the best they can," said Burns.
Montevallo opened a warming station later in the day at the Student Activity Center (SAC) for the students and faculty who were stuck on campus for the night. Road conditions did not get better until late into the next day and the Cafeteria staff stayed through the storm to make sure those left behind had a hot meal.
