Snow Covers Campus to Six-Inch Depth

Feb. 02, 2010

Heavy snow closed the gates to the university Friday

Between 6 and 8 inches fell across the region

Students hit the slopes behind Maple Hill

A little push goes a long way

Stopping is the hard part

Scenes around campus showed the transformation

Waiting on the light at Garland and Maple

The 2010 snow was much quieter than the 2009 ice

The cold didn't keep students indoors for long

Hair of fir, face of snow, gone at sun's first glow

Walking in a winter wonderland

Old Main was engulfed in the storm

Snow creatures made by packing snow in a plastic container appeared across campus

After the snow let up, campus and city were white

By Sunday, the campus was quiet and the sun came out

Through the ice, the names of graduates could still be seen

Blue skies reappeared over campus by Sunday

The campus in winter
