Students at Northeastern State University struggled with commutes to campus due to wintry weather conditions that dumped snow and caused icy roads. University officials worked to clear roads and apply sand and salt to improve driving safety. Several students shared their experiences dealing with the impacts of the winter storms, including difficulties with travel and online classes being disrupted by computer updates.
