“There’s no snakes. There’s no alligators. There’s no hurricanes.” I repeat this strange string of sentences to myself daily, typically while trudging through the snow to get to class during winter. I say it every time I question my choice of college, since I could’ve gone somewhere warmer than the Midwest. Typically I conjure up

A few days ago on my way across campus, instead of hurrying to get to where I was going like I normally do, I took time to admire the snow. I noticed how beautiful the Golden Dome looked as the snow fell down and how much people seemed to be embracing the moment. Being from

I have seen snow less than 10 times. Nine times to be exact. My first time was years ago while snowboarding at Big Bear Mountain in California. The other eight times were at Notre Dame. Snow is still a novel idea to me. I vaguely remember what snow is like from the trip to California,

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, and it’s already looking like a winter wonderland in South Bend, Indiana. The tri-campus and the greater St. Joseph County experienced continuous snowfall Wednesday, as the National Weather Service (NWS) declared a winter storm advisory beginning at 3 p.m. The warning will expire around 10 a.m. Thursday morning.

It’s snowing today. Snowing! You can read that line as an ecstatic exclamation or a disappointed one, depending on your feelings about the wonderful phenomenon of drifting crystallized water. I was talking with my roommate in our kitchen when I noticed it. I’m pretty sure I cried, “It’s snowing!” with more enthusiasm than I thought

I’m a country bumpkin. You might not guess it from looking at me, talking to me or interacting with me in any way, but I hail from Morristown, Tennessee, a small town nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Yeehaw. And I think I had a pretty authentic southern experience. There’s a cow field

Snow has always been a bit of a spectacle to me. I am from the desert, and there are years and winters when there is no snow entirely. In fact, the first time I bought a winter coat was over winter break during my freshman year. I can remember waking up when I was younger

Fall has officially — and finally — arrived. I’d venture to say most would agree with the former part of that statement, though perhaps not the latter. As we get further and further into the school year, a few more leaves fall to the ground and the temperature drops a little more each day, calling

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can stop this crew; in fact, they’re the ones battling it. Notre Dame’s Landscape Services team, known for clear sidewalks in the midst of heavy South Bend snowfall, may have met its match Feb. 9. According to the National Weather Service, 11 inches of snow

Both the Olympic athletes in Pyeongchang and college students in South Bend are experiencing record-low, frigid temperatures. To celebrate, this week’s Scene Selections are songs inspired about the snow — or sports — or both. Snowy sports. You get the idea. “Curling” — Speedy Ortiz By Adam Ramos, Scene Editor Unlike its summer counterpart, the
