That wet, bone-chilling kind of cold that is more common to “winters” in the Mid-Atlantic area and less usual for our dry Wyoming climate.
Last night, the snowflakes started to fall.
“Sheared glass” like flakes, resembling glitter swirling and sparkling in the lamplight.
This morning, the campus was soft and silent, as the blanket of fresh snow muffled the voices of my campus mates, who in turn seemed to be speaking in respectfully modulated and hushed tones, as they made their way across campus.
It was beautiful, while it lasted.
The sun is shining once again and the new layer of soft white snow is melting. The old stuff, however, is still in it's usual place.
I tried to capture “the mood of” the campus this morning with my little camera...
View of one of the several tree lined walkways criss-crossing campus
These trees won't be seeing any leaves for several months
This sign is to protect the kid-lets attending Prep, the teenager’s K-9 school, which is on campus.
The kid-lets have to cross the walkway to get to the little play area.
University students on bikes whiz by, creating a hazard for any little ones in the way.
This isn’t the first sign that's been put out.
Those earlier signs are probably decorating someone’s dorm room.
This one has a heavy metal base and poles, which means, someone would need to drive a truck onto campus to haul it away.
We’ll see how long it remains…
