Is it just us, or did the entirety of winter just get condensed into one week? Just when think that it couldn’t snow anymore, Bates is hit with another full-on blizzard today, and the snow is expected to continue until at least 10pm tonight. Looking out the window right now, the campus looks like a scene straight out of Frozen, with the swirling flurries of snow completely enveloping the bundled-up dark specks of brave students venturing to class.
