The heaviest snow should end by mid-afternoon with light\nsnow showers possible throughout the remainder of the evening.\nTemperatures tonight will drop into the upper 20s and may cause some\nicy patches on roadways. Winds between 10 and 20 MPH should help to dry\nexcess water on the roadways, but icing cannot be ruled out.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPrimary Hazards\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003EThe primary hazard will be from possible icy conditions Wednesday morning.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENext Steps\n\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EUnless there are significant changes in campus weather conditions, Georgia Tech will continue normal operations for the remainder of the day and into the evening.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EIndividuals who live in areas of concern should work with their supervisors or instructors to determine the most appropriate course of action.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EThe Georgia Tech Police Department will monitor road conditions overnight to make sure that the campus is clear.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EFaculty, staff, and students are also encouraged to actively monitor weather reports and road conditions in their areas to determine whether it is safe to travel.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAny changes in Georgia Tech\u0027s hours of operation will be disseminated through:\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u2022 the Georgia Tech Web site (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ewww.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u2022 Social Media (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/georgiatech\u0022\u003Ewww.facebook.com\/georgiatech\u003C\/a\u003E \u0026amp; \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Georgia_Tech\u0022\u003Ewww.twitter.com\/Georgia_Tech\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u2022 Inclement Weather Hotline (404-894-0500)\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAs always, exercise your best judgment on when it is safe for you to drive to work.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Georgia Tech Police Department monitored road conditions overnight.
