Last night and this morning we had our first snow of the season. I’ve since decided I need to buy myself a winter jacket! A winter jacket was something I just couldn’t fit in my luggage when I moved here, and with the ~15ยบ F temperature, wind and wet snow, I’m wishing I had one. With the wet, slushy mess on the ground, I don’t even want to go outside because my feet will be wet and cold almost instantaneously.
Snowy Campus
I also discovered something very interesting today, the beautiful marble sidewalks (as can be seen in this photo) around campus are super slippery when coupled with a wet snow fall. I nearly fell twice, and witnessed many students falling down in the wet slush. Clearly when designing some parts of this campus they had their mind on beauty over functionality. Oops.
Wet, slushy mess.

HAHA! It’s still 47F here and there’s no class tomorrow although I’d only have one anyway. How cold do you expect it to get there? How far is it to class?
From what I’ve heard, it routinely doesn’t get much below freezing here, maybe 10F at the lowest. Class is probably 3 or 4 blocks away, a ten minute walk at most.
