Cambridge, MA—“This is like, a decent amount of snow. I mean, not crazyyyy or anything, but there is a lot on the sidewalks,” conceded Becca, a sophomore from Montana, who had earlier scoffed on Tuesday of shopping week about how the school closes down “for anything.” Becca is one of many students from mountainous regions along the Rockies or in Alaska who on this, our third snowday of the semester, are begrudgingly admitting that the amount of snow in Boston right now is at least mildly impressive. Brandon ’14 from Colorado said, “Yeah, normally these coasties shut down the city for a foot of snow. I mean my hometown gets this much snow regularly, but seeing it on the streets, I admit this is probably a lot of snow for the area.” Charlie, Branden’s mountain friend from Alaska, also agreed, “I wouldn't call this ‘an act of God, such as the end of the world,’ but this is a proper snow storm.”
