It’s the middle of the winter.. Where is the snow?
El Niño is doing us dirty
This week – the week before our beloved Winter Carnival arrives – all the snow on Dartmouth’s campus has disappeared.
I thought this was supposed to be winter??
In extreme distress students are taking to snapchat, trying to figure out how to cope with the lack of snow. Some have been evacuated to Dick’s House to receive therapy for their trauma.
Where is the snow?
Will we even have our classic Winter Carnival snow sculpture?! Will our Polar Bear Plunge send us into thrilling hypothermic conditions, or will it be a disappointingly lukewarm dip in the pond?! Will Heorot’s dope new ice rink melt into a puddle of our tears?!?!?! The questions are as endless as they are terrifying.
As if midterms week wasn’t sad enough, students are now distracted from studying because of deep paranoia surrounding the lack of snow, snow ball fights, outdoor ice rinks, and sledding hills.
How is this possible???
Luckily, the weather forecast has predicted snowfall tonight and tomorrow morning, just in time to save winter carnival.
