Snow Days

After all those promises, I finally got to experience the real Vermont winter culture on Whatever-Day (right, Valentine’s Day). Because of the bad weather forecast UVM, and many other institutions in the Northeast of America, announced it officially as a ‘snow day’, and therefore closed their doors.



All day long, I was wandering around inside the L/L-complex, staring out all the windows, to gaze at the rushing blizzard causing piles of snow out side. I was, and still am, amazed and astonished about the amount of the snow, that had an average height of 1 meter. Because the roads and walking paths needed to be shuffled, some piles reached almost 3 meter!

The next day was another official snow day, although the actual snowstorm had already set down. Instead, it was a beautiful sunny day, and thus perfect to go out and play in the snow, without getting our face all soaked, as happened, when we attempted to go snow sliding the 1st snow day. Because only the main roads were shuffled, it was up to us, to dig through the snow. As someone who has never experienced so much snow before, I had great fun!
