Snow and ice caused the college to close on Feb. 23 and 24 and prompted an early dismissal Feb. 27. The weather also caused several events to be rescheduled, including a memorial service at Eastfield for the Dallas County Community College District’s first chancellor Bill Priest, the Harvester Theatre Co.’s performance of “The Great Gatsby” and the Black History Month read-in honoring Maya Angelou. Although spring break begins March 9, the winter weather may not be over. Sleet and freezing rain were forecast for the afternoon of March 4.
