February 2nd

Second snow day in a row. Actually, it was a "wintry mix" that poured down from the heavens today, so I can sort of understand Jay Hickey's side of it. Sort of.

This evening was clear, and I walked outside through the South C (aka Snow, heehee) courtyard. The trees are sheathed in ice, ice that covers every individual twig, glistening in the lantern light. It is so beautiful. Usually I would refrain from calling the walkway outside the dining hall "magical," but tonight, it came pretty close. Taking pictures at night, with a simple digital camera, I cannot do the sight justice. My pictures of the trees were unclear and orange, so a snapshot of one limb of one tree will just have to do.
