In general Wheaton does not have snow days. Normally, they just work extra hard to keep the sidewalks and roads clear enough for everyone to get to class. However, Tuesday and Wednesday, classes were cancelled and campus was closed due to a blizzard. The Wade Center closed at three today,, so I left an hour early and on the way back the wind blew the snow so fast and hard that it felt like a sand blaster blowing in my face. Kody, my heavily bearded suitemate is on snow crew, so as he was outside shoveling, 
his beard became thickly coated in snow and ice, so that according to his roommate Jonathan, he looked like Santa Claus with a white beard. Yesterday, some of my friends and I dug a tunnel in a snow bank, and then sprinted across a field of three foot deep snow, then started tackling each other into soft cushions of snow, then went inside because we were freezing.
I’m still pretty swamped in homework, but I did want to share a few pictures with you.I posted a before, during and after photo. Enjoy!
Wow! You really are having a storm over there, along with the whole midwest! Here in Arizona, we are having highs in the 50s and lows in the 20s... So much for global warming...
ReplyDeleteLooks cold...
ReplyDeleteWow that looks really pretty, however i do not envy the person who has to dig out that bike.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like tons of fun!!! I don't know if making a tunnel and tackling people to the snowy ground is something I would do though :) Looking at the before during and after pictures I feel kinda bad for your suitemate, Kody. Best of luck to you with your homework. Praying for you :) Have a super awesome week!
