While out and about around campus, I asked students to give their thoughts on the massive amounts of snow we have accumulated. In detail, these were the inquiries I made:
How much more snow do you think we are going to get within the rest of winter? When you were a kid, what was your absolute favorite thing to do on a snow day? And do you prefer hot cocoa or tea to warm up?
Haley Gregoire enjoyed making snowmen and watching movies with her family. She prefers hot cocoa.
Justin Smith predicts another two feet of snow. When he was little, he made a tube trail behind his house to go tubing. He enjoys hot cocoa.
Savannah Barnes used to build snow forts. She loves hot cocoa.
Grace Davis likes to stay in, read books, and drink hot cocoa to stay warm.
Carina Rose Cameron thinks we’ll get another six inches. She also enjoys reading and hot cocoa.
Veronica Meserve says, “At the rate we have been getting snow, I feel we are due for at least a couple more feet.” As a child, she used to love going sliding and making snow angels. She actually prefers iced coffee.
As for me, I predict we will be having four more feet (hopefully I’m wrong). As a kid I loved being outside. I enjoyed sledding, building forts and snowmen, and making snow angels with friends. I like both hot cocoa and hot tea to warm up, but if I had to choose one, I would pick hot cocoa with extra mini marshmallows.
