Up and down the East Coast yesterday, students enjoyed powdery snow and a reprieve from classes.
The snowstorm hit states from North Carolina to Maine, causing power outages, car accidents, flight delays and, most importantly for Tufts students, closings.
Tufts closed all three of its campuses yesterday after initially telling students in an e-mail Sunday night that only classes before 10:30 a.m. would be axed.
Boston Public Schools also shut their doors, and in New York City, public school students got their first snow day in five years.
In addition to class cancellations, which are incredibly rare on the Hill, the university also closed popular spots like the Tisch Library and the campus center. With nowhere to go but outside, many students used yesterday to relax and enjoy themselves.
"It makes me feel like a little kid again — the opportunities to go sledding or play in the snow or stay in bed and watch movies and drink hot chocolate," freshman Elizabeth Schrott said.
"It was the best and first snow day ever for me since I'm from Georgia," freshman John Moesch said.
