If you live in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region, chances are it's been snowing where you are. If you don't, just check Facebook--literally everyone finds it necessary to report the weather via social media--cause no one else has access to the outdoors! Heh.
All jokes aside, DC's first snow was quite the letdown. Nothing really stuck down here, but it sure made all the errands I had to run today ANNOYING to accomplish. Everybody loves the first snow of the season, but this was such a tease! It looked like snow, felt like snow, tasted like snow, but once it hit the ground it just became a yucky blucky mess.
HOWEVER, this is why I went to school in a city: aside from the *minor* debacle of Snowpocalypse 2010, everything pretty much stays running during trying weather. You can leave campus easy-peasy, and with the metro soooooooo close by (I live a block away), transportation anywhere and everywhere is also super easy--plus it keeps you out of the elements while in transit!
One piece of advice for incoming freshmen: buy galoshes or some type of weatherproof shoe. There WILL be days when you have to walk 15 minutes to the other side of campus for class, and you're not gonna want to be sporting fancy flats or those fuzzy furry puffy Uggs you may adore. Not practical.
Because I'm not midterm-ing anymore, send emails! Ask any question(s) you'd like! shireens@gwmail.gwu.edu
