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 ~15º 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.
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.
