Ok, yeah, it made everything wet and sloppy and kinda cold to walk to class in. I didn&#8217;t have far to walk today, but I know several people who had to walk across campus and they really didn&#8217;t enjoy it. However, I love snow! I think campus looks so pretty covered in it. I plan on taking some more pictures soon. The snow was just blowing too much for me to want to take my big camera outside.<strong> Word of advice: invest in some nice warm, water-proof boots<\/strong>. A lot of people were taken by surprise by the snow and didn&#8217;t have proper footwear. Ok, I might have been one of them (I didn&#8217;t have room in my bags when I moved back to campus \ud83d\ude41 ). But a lot of people tried just wearing their rain boots and discovered how cold snow actually is. A couple people with nice, warm boots discovered the necessity of water-proofing.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here&#8217;s some pictures of the snow and ice (from the safety and warmth of my lounge with HUGE windows \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-218 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/sarah\/files\/2013\/01\/IMG_2960.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/sarah\/files\/2013\/01\/IMG_2960-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-224\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-224'>\n\t\t\t\tThe bikes outside the dorm.
