9 Inches Isn’t Enough

This winter, I have been disappointed by 5 inches of snow, pleased by 7 inches, but 9… seems like any college student would be happy with 9 inches because SURELY class would be cancelled. But oh no… not Emerson.
Nine inches of snow fell on Boston last night. The snow came down so dense and the wind blew so hard (gusts of 40 MPH) that I literally had to walk backwards to my apartment for .75 mile. My face hurt so badly with each snowflake stinging upon impact. My black coat was covered with about .25 inch of snow. The water in my backpack had small ice formations. Why would anyone live permanently in this place?!
And yet, Emerson only delayed opening; not enough to cancel my Media Crit. mid-term. Instead of enjoying the snow indoors, I have to hike over the snow mountains, wade through the slush puddles, dodge traffic lanes because the sidewalks won’t be clear, and still get to class on time. So say a little prayer for me.
Ah yes, the memories of living in the North. Hang in there. You can come to FL if you want and take the tropical storms and rain if you prefer. A little snow now an then isn’t that bad.
Well, look on the bright side. Today is the first day of the meteorological spring! ::awesome::
What more would you want, only a couple of people have 10 + inches… ::rollseyes::
I went to Dakota State University for a year back in ’00…. One of the recent worst years for snow in that area. One night we got 2 feet of snow, and some of the north facing doors were blocked because snow had piled up infront of them… yet we still had school…
Colleges never cancel. :(
9 Inches Isn’t Enough…
I love snow headlines!
