Snow Way: Georgia becomes a winter wonderland
Flurries of snowflakes littered the sky and provided beautiful scenery for Milledgeville residents itching for that winter feel. Because it hadn’t snowed all winter long, this surprising snowstorm was warmly welcomed.
Despite continuous snowfall, the snow did not stick to the ground or pile up much. Some parked cars and leafy bushes allowed students to capture pictures of the unusual sight of snow build up.
While Milledgeville did not receive as much snow as other parts of the state, weather.com recorded 0.61 inches of flakes on Sunday.
Students were in various circumstances when the wintry weather hit Milledgeville.
Freshman rhetoric major Lauren Browne was driving back in the snow and was unable to get out and enjoy it.
“I was driving the whole time, but it was nice to look at,” Browne said.
Even though she was unable to get outside and have fun, Browne still appreciated the snow.
“I loved it, it was the best part of the weekend,” Browne said.
Other students were on campus and went outside to play in the snow. Freshman Amanda Beck left her room in Foundation Hall with some friends to relish in the rare weather.
“We ate (the snow) when it was falling, threw snowballs, spun around and took pictures in it,” Beck said. “It made me extremely happy.”
After getting their fill of the snowy weather, students focused less on the snow and more on the upcoming week ahead.
Students were hoping that the snow would force classes to be canceled. Much to several students’ disappointment, the snow did not interfere with school functions on Monday.
The snow that did stick melted, and with it went the hopes of canceled classes.
