Not Snowy



UMass was closed today in anticipation of a snowstorm that never arrived until after the school day is usually pretty much over. Most of the local public schools were also closed, a major inconvenience for working parents who were no doubt none too happy that they had to make special arrangements for the kids to stay home on a day when it never actually snowed during school hours. If thoughts could kill, the head of Brian Lapis would probably have exploded. 





But finally around three o'clock it started to snow like mad, the wind whipped snow sticking to the trees at Amherst College.

 



That's where I was, at the Robert Frost Library at Amherst College.





By the way, have you heard of the hot new website Amherst Secrets? It has anonymous entries by Amherst College students such as:

i have had sex with 13 men in the last two years and only one of them was actually decent at it. get your shit together guys.

What? The men of Amherst are legendary sex machines! In fact several of them posed nude for this famous mural in the Frost Library lounge area. 





Do you want a closer look? Of course you do.

 



Oh well, here's hoping you have someone to keep you warm on this wintry night.

  4. Great pic of Amherst College trees. Soon after that the weather settled down, and all that's left is dusting of snow.
