snowy tundra of Princeton
Princeton had reason to celebrate in the most recent of this winter’s wild East coast snowstorms. For the first time in the last seven years (and only the 4th time in the last 16 years), we had a snow day. Classes were canceled all day on Wednesday, and all of the university students became excited school children again. Dining halls lost countless trays to would-be sledders, who attacked the few hills on campus, mostly on the golf course and outside of Whitman college. I even saw some brave folk trying to ski down the steps of Blair Arch.

Absurd snow sculptures popped up all around campus, so many that our student government decided to hold a contest…some of the highlights being a squirrel, a Pacman, a Loch Ness monster, a snow Godzilla destroying a snow Tokyo, and 8-foot snowmen. And that’s not even to mention all of the snow structures, from forts to igloos. I even know a few hardy souls (who will remain unnamed, as igloo-building is apparently against University rules) who camped out in their high-capacity igloo two nights in a row.
