Snow

It's been 20 years since we've had this much snow here. I was impressed, to say the least. I have a goal of seeing snow every year, and though it didn't last more than a few hours, I think I can definitely count this as this year's snow. It started snowing around 5:30, but didn't stick until probably 6-6:30. We had gotten probably an inch of rain or more before it started snowing, so the accumulations on the ground weren't as much as they could've been. I went to campus around 10, and not long after it switched to rain and the snow started to melt.

Waiting for the bus:


The quad:


Squirrels freaking out:


Clock tower:


Greek theatre:


No snow would be complete without sledding... except that the only hills around here are the indian mounds.


Parade grounds:


The parade grounds held the most water, and by the time I had gotten there it had been raining for probably half an hour.

Despite the rain, I'm surprised how long everything lasted. There was still a decent amount of snow on the ground when I went into my 3pm final, but when I came out, there was practically none. By the time I got home, there were only little patches of icy snow left in the shade. I'm definitely going to live somewhere that has significant snowfall every year. It's just too great of a thing to have once every 20 years.
