The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway
Dorsum to the written world hither for a niggling while – I much prefer telling you all about the coldest/snowiest/iciest winter I've ever experienced in my twenty one years from behind the comfort of a keyboard rather than with video proof. I've not notwithstanding achieved David Attenborough status with this thing yet…although, equally you'll run across, I've non exactly been idle with all these snow days, and hopefully you'll finish reading this blog and say, "Yes, that lad is intrepid" (or mentally disturbed, the jury'due south out). But incidentally, yeah: I'one thousand starting to think that the Holy Cross Class of 2015 is indeed the disaster-themed class. Our very outset weekend on campus as freshmen, orientation was cancelled due to Hurricane Irene; later that year, we had half dozen inches of snowfall for Halloween; my sophomore yr, we faced two shelter-in-identify orders, ane for Hurricane Sandy and the second for Superstorm Nemo; concluding year saw campus in the icy clutches of the Polar Vortex; and this semester alone, we've already missed four days due to extreme winter conditions. To whichever weather deity we've obviously offended, we apologize – delight forgive us before graduation 24-hour interval in May!
In fact, I'm writing to you correct now from the second-snowiest city in the United States, with over 100 accumulated inches of snowfall. And what's the number one urban center, yous ask? Funny story… of all the possible places on the continent, the only city snowier than the positively buried Worcester IS MY FLIPPIN' HOMETOWN!!!!! Possibly it'due south not the Class of 2015 after all…Maybe information technology's me!
The craziness all started back during the second week of the semester. Until that betoken, information technology had been a remarkably mild winter; Christmas around here had been a mild fifty degrees, I'd gone trail running effectually New Years in shorts, and a Holy Cross friend not native to the area had said, "Wow, I idea New England winters were supposed to be bad. Information technology's been no big deal at all so far!"
Famous last words.
The commencement blizzard to descend on u.s.a. lasted for thirty 6 hours directly, depositing over an inch an hour at times with its freakish winds. Campus had to effectively shut downwardly for two days as the ground changed from grass to three-pes snowfall drifts in a matter of hours. From my flat window in Williams Dormitory, I took some time-lapse photos of the tempest's effect on the grounds:
Not a bad view, though, is it?
Since then, the blizzards have kept at it hard and fast, and the snow banks go well over my vi″0 head in well-nigh places at present. If it continues at this rate, I await the grass will reappear just in time to be cached by next winter's snows – and that'south just if summertime comes at all, which, I don't think I'm wrong in saying, many people hereabouts have given upward hope over. But how are us Crusaders coping? When meteorologists warn us to stay within at all costs or else face all the wrath of Mother Nature, what are we to do?
Go sledding, evidently
Getting from course to class has, admittedly, become something more than of an endeavor now. This picture was snapped yesterday as I attempted to reach my 10:00 lecture, using a now-standard method of transportation around campus:
Once you get used to them, snowshoes aren't even that bad, all things considered
Ok, then that's a tiny flake of a stretch, but I did go snowshoeing around campus last weekend, and it was simply tremendous. A planned snowshoeing trip to Northern MA with Holy Cross' Outdoors Social club was obviously K.O.'d by – yous guessed it – another blizzard, just since nosotros already had all the equipment necessary for an afternoon polar expedition, a few of usa more audacious folk decided, "Hey, why not?"
Plunging deep into the middle of the Yukon (or the Hart Center grounds, it was tough to tell through the frostbite)
Making my style across the tundra
Some people aren't fifty-fifty aware of them, merely a whole network of trails criss-crosses behind the Hart Centre's playing fields, and they feature some pretty gorgeous scenery. Admittedly, all 100+ inches lies untouched back there, and so it got interesting in places trying to blaze a path through
She can exist harsh at times, but Female parent Nature's too remarkable not to appreciate, and the only way yous can do information technology is to get out there and dive into the thick of it.
Too, with my third Boston Marathon looming in just about ii months' fourth dimension now, there's no way I'd let something as pesky equally planet Earth'south weather systems get in the way of my grooming schedule. And so it's an extra pair of socks and another thermal layer, and out I go!
High visibility jackets: so truck drivers don't have the excuse of "I never saw him!" as the ambulance paramedics extract me from their plow beds on a spatula.
Yep, that'due south ordinarily a scenic vista on my left there. The 6 foot wall of snowfall and water ice is a real killer for the MA sightseeing market.
I did say intrepid, didn't I? Merely the fashion I see it, you lot have to beat the atmospheric condition or get beat by it. The story you lot'll accept in twenty years of that time you trekked across a frozen wilderness is much cooler (*cooler*… my comedy tour comes to a town near yous this summer, don't miss information technology) than staying inside watching Television receiver for a warm afternoon; yous'll have some frozen eyebrows, but they'll thaw out/abound back eventually! Then leave there and enjoy those frozen fractals all around…and don't allow the cold bother you anyways!
