Wait, it's snowing outside?

How about that.

St. John Fisher College actually had a snow day today. The last snow day the school had came my freshman year (I'm a senior now), and it wasn't because of snow at all. That day afternoon classes were cancelled due to overwhelming wind gusts. I found out the hard way that day because I walked across the sidewalk to Basil (you remember this sidewalk right? Before it turned it to a pile of dirt) to my class only to find out that classes that day were cancelled. And let me tell you, it was definitely windy, I couldn't even walk in a straight line.

Today's snow day was a pleasant surprise though. I got to sleep in, which is always great. This snow day was a long time coming too. For the past few weeks we've had some frigid days and people having to walk from Founders (like me) or the Murph have walked 10-15 minutes everywhere they go. Add it all the trips to class/meals/work together and that's the equivalent of spending anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour outside in sub-zero degree temperatures. No wonder seemingly everyone on campus is sick.

Hopefully, people take it easy today and try to avoid the roads and enjoy the snow. And here's to hoping that Fisher's next snow day isn't another 3 years away.
