After a campus closure due to a snow storm impacting the Ithaca region, students spend their snow day outdoors and in their dorms.
For all the jokes about Ithaca being a snowy place and prospective students’ main concern about Cornell being the weather, it took until the middle of November for snow to graze Cornell’s campus. Even with the flurries we received, the previous week’s high of 75 degrees ensured that the snow would certainly not stick. As much as others may dislike the snow, I love this part of the year when barren trees and dead grass glisten in a coat of fluffy snow.
After an icy start to the semester, maintenance staff restored warmth to the rooms of several North Campus residents who were lacking heat on Monday night.
While some students traversed campus in snow boots, sleds and skis, other Cornellians scrambled to secure last-minute lodging or alternative travel arrangements.
