"Snow Day? No Way!"

As you may have seen from Shannon's blog, everyone at MIT woke up to a rather snowy view outside. Here's what my fraternity looked like:

Fortunately for me, my first class on Mondays is at noon. So the roads looked pretty good by then. :)


Happy Anti-Snow Day!

I will never have a snow day here in SoCal. :(
Hopefully I'll have the experience at MIT next year. :D

Down here in Mexico it's starting to get a bit warm, around 30c degrees during the day and 10c at night.

Snow... I wonder how it feels. Where I live the only different weather we get is rain. Oh! One year we had a hail storm (hail + a tropical environment = global warming effect).

Hopefully, I'll be able to see snow during next year's winter.

PS: Dago you're right. This morning we had 29°C in Puerto Vallarta. I can't believe I had to turn on my AC last night ._.

...what's with the sudden flood of blogging? Did they give you guys a quota or something?

People in Southern California miss school just because it's raining like two inches. I can't imagine what would happen if it snowed, even half an inch. : )

Actually, I'm blogging more because I just got an awesome new camera. Maybe I'll do a meta-blog about the camera sometime soon. :P

@Drea
I've never had a "rain day" no matter how hard it's raining. o_o

And I have a feeling there would be some amount of panic if it snowed, seeing as that's kind of an environmental anomaly.

We had a snow day today too in NYC. I ended up doing work I didnt finish over the weekend though so it wasnt too fun... :-/

How about a photo-blog post of your room? What're the rooms like in a fraternity house?

@Paul: Would that new camera be a Nikon D3? Haha..

I like the snow; it kinda gives a serene feeling provided you're snug and warm!

@Drea - Yeah, I've never had a rain day :D The closest we came was having a "smog day" when there were fires in the area, but that just meant no PE, not no school.

@Paula: Thanks for the good idea! I'll start putting some photos together.

@aidan: Nice guess, but not quite. ;)

@Piper
Well, I didn't mean an actual rain day. I just know that some people at school look for any excuse to skip school. I was just wondering what these people would do in the east coast where the rain is all weird and frozen : P
