How much?

The campus received about 20 inches of snow through the first part of February, according to Bob Currie, assistant director of facilities services. When that's spread over the university's 23 miles of road, 34 miles of walks and bike paths, and 163 acres of parking lots, it's a lot of snow to remove. In fact, it's enough to fill the Marston Water Tower 856 times or one of campus service's large dump trucks 67,000 times. The university already has spent $230,000 of its $250,000 snow removal budget. Photo by Bob Elbert.
