Traffic proceeds slowly down Forest Park Parkway next to the Danforth Campus. A mix of snow and freezing rain made roads in St. Louis difficult to traverse on Tuesday.

The School of Medicine, which did not close for the storm, will open at its usual time.

While all classes and scheduled events that have not already been canceled will resume at 10 a.m. on the Danforth, North, South, West and Tyson campuses, the University will still be recovering from the storm that is projected to leave up to 4 inches of snow on the ground Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

The University hasn’t closed for a full day because of weather since 1982 when a storm system blanketed St. Louis with 13 inches of snow.

Snow and ice removal will continue throughout the day. Dining services on the Danforth Campus will be very limited.

The University has not released the exact hours of operation for eateries on main campus.

Student Health Services will also remain closed through Wednesday for all non-emergency appointments.

The Campus2Home shuttle will resume operation at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, and the Family Learning Center will open at 9:30 a.m.

The Campus Circulator, which transports members of the University around campus, will resume operations at noon on Wednesday.

The Career Fair scheduled for Wednesday is still canceled. The Career Center is working on rescheduling options for employers.

On Tuesday, Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency in Missouri and called in the Missouri National Guard to help local emergency agencies. The University had announced that it would close all nonessential services on Tuesday before the governor’s announcement.

Students were very excited for Tuesday’s snow day.

“The turnaround from studying to partying was about 0.5 seconds,” freshman Charlotte Jeffries said.

For some students, canceled classes was a first.

“I’ve never had a snow day before, and this is awesome,” said junior Meg Conley, a California native.

The storm was not as severe as predicted. Forecasters predicted the storm would dump half an inch of ice and around a foot of snow on the St. Louis area. Forecasts Tuesday night predicted that 2 to 4 inches of snow would fall in the area by Wednesday morning.
