above freezing temperatures and, presumably, the thaw that will set it free.
Students, faculty and staff waited for that same thaw from an ice storm that began on the
eve of February 15, 2003 and blasted central Kentucky into a deep freeze, denying electrical V
power to an estimated 115,000 Lexington customers over the course of a 12 day period. UK _
was not spared and endured intermittent power outages, including at the University Commons `
and Commonwealth Village student housing complexes off campus. Those students were given {
shelter elsewhere. Meanwhile, the campus was littered with downed tree limbs and some roads ·A
were closed. »

work forced UK to close for two days in a row, something that hasn’t happened since the late l
1970s. Essential employees, including hospital and physical-plant workers, braved the adverse  
weather and came to campus to perform their duties. l
Let`s hear it for springtime! ~
