A blizzard? In Denton? WOAH!

Well as we all know the weather has been just a little crazy this year, but nothing compares to last week. A blizzard hit Denton, Texas. Okay not an actual blizzard, but the closest thing I have ever seen in Texas. I was going to my 12:30 class and it had been snowing for maybe 10 minutes, everyone was excited and shocked as we road the bus to class. When I got out of class at 2, inches of snow covered the ground. I got a phone call from my friend asking me if I was alright, and she told me that campus had closed.

As I was riding the bus home from campus I realized something; snow brings people together. We were all on the bus for about 45 minutes because the traffic was stopped and cars were spinning in place, but it didn't matter. Everyone was talking and excited, people were explaining what they had heard on the weather that morning, or what a relative had told them. It seemed like the first week of school again, everyone was happy and had no inhibitions. When we finally got to my complex everyone piled of the bus their hands to the heavens in disbelief. People were smiling and laughing - then the inevitable happened. A huge snowball fight broke out, with total strangers.

I left the fight to get something to eat and bundle up more. One of my roommates and I ate lunch, drank hot chocolate, and watched a movie. We later went out and played in the snow for hours.

I think UNT needed a snow storm.
