Early frost

When I went outside today morning beneath the rain and overcast, I knew that today was an especially cold day. I had a shorter than normal lunch today (my lunch is already short because I have 20 minutes until the next class) so I could go back to my room and don my peacoat and grab the umbrella since I was going to go up Science Hill later today.

As I went to dinner with a few friends, I was once again grateful that I lived in the same building as the dining hall, which meant that we could just go through the basement to go eat rather than having to step outside, because it was really cold outside. I managed to take a peek at Yahoo Weather before I left and was surprised that the temperature had already dropped to 38 degrees Fahrenheit.

After dinner, as I was working on finishing up my chemistry lab report, I suddenly received an IM from a friend who told me to look out the window. Surprised, I saw large flakes drifting down among the raindrops. It is the middle of October. And it is snowing.

I don't think I managed to capture any actual flakes on camera, though I got a few pretty sweet nighttime shots of the Stone Courtyard. However, perhaps this little glittery cluster of droplets on my window may signify our first snow of this year on October 15, 2009.
