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

If Angus & Julia Stone released anything on their new album “Snow,” it was an identity crisis. The newly released album, from the Australian sibling duo that created a lasting hit with their 2010 track “Big Jet Plane,” has significantly less bright spots and “hits” than it was expected to have. The album cover is

From Saturday night into Monday morning, the South Bend area accumulated record-setting amounts of snow, but the University of Notre Dame remained open. “As fun as it would be to have the day off, that’s not why we’re here. As long as it is safe for the teachers and students to go to class that’s what

Football activities and gameday staff encountered unusual challenges last weekend after “unprecedented” amounts of snow and harsh winds overtook campus, according to Mike Seamon, associate vice president for campus safety. “The snow and the cold played big factors in the weekend’s activities around the game,” Seamon said. “To everyone’s knowledge, we cannot remember a time

When I woke up Thursday morning, I was greeted with what I thought was the rather unfortunate appearance of several inches of snow. I’d been warned at the beginning of the week about its imminent presence but I still hadn’t quite prepared myself for the reality. Like many other Notre Dame students, I was immediately

I am from the East Coast, just outside of Washington, D.C. While I was in high school, we were hit by two very large storms christened “Snowpocalypse” and “Snowmageddon.” If there is about an inch of snow on the ground, the government closes, and schools closely follow suit. While I was in high school, we

Fellow Tree Huggers, Let me begin by welcoming you all back to campus! Things got pretty crazy for the students who stayed in the Midwest this winter, and I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable break. For those of you who live either under a rock or spend all of your time on the
