As for people not clearing their sidewalks, I wonder if it might be a good idea to organize a group of students willing to walk along a bunch of the streets with shovels after it snows and just clear things. It's not bad if you do it right away. I'm sure a lot of the residents are older and have trouble doing it, and it would really help us students as well since we wouldn't have to walk in the snow.

So true. So, who wants to start a group? |

Snow and I have a love/hate relationship. 
I LOVE playing in it, looking at it, etc. It's SO pretty.
and Christmas isn't the same without it.
but I absolutely HATE shovelling it, walking through slush to get to the bus stop, etc..
In the end, I guess the pro's outweigh the cons. :smileychristmas2: |

Not to burst your bubble, but unless C-wall had snow when Morrisburg didn't, two years ago (my second year, and your first) was a green christmas... the first one I ever experienced.
For those of you who are thinking "wtf", we went to the same high school, and I lived in a small town 20 minutes out of the city our school was located in; our homes are quite close together.

We got snow on Christmas Eve morning that year and it stayed until after Christmas.
