Snowy Days.

The last few days here at Salem have been interesting, to say the least. 

Scholarship Weekend was followed quickly by a night of snow, snowmageddon (AKA 1-3 inches) as many on campus -- those who aren't used to snow -- called it. 

The school closed yesterday due to the whiteness and icy roads, and we had a delayed start this morning. As much as I love going to class, I think this snow came at the perfect time... everyone was absolutely exhausted from Scholarship Weekend, and it was nice to have a day just to relax (read: catch up on homework). 

Here was the view from my window on Monday after about an hour or two of snow. Today, most of the fluffy snow has melted and we're down to just the hard, icy stuff. Yuck. 

Even though it probably doesn't look like much to anyone who lives in the north or the mountains, it's a big deal to everyone around here. Let me tell you, the salt they put on the ground here is closer to table salt than rock salt... it's actually kind of sad.

I never believed people when they told me that North Carolina winters started at the end of January. I thought the snow last year when I was a prospective student at Scholarship Weekend was just a fluke. Well... I was wrong. 

 Keep not settling,
