54 X Studc ot just sno Winter more than weather Brr . . . those cold winter months began in late November and ended in early April. During those months, many expected only cold temperatures, roaring winds, and a few days of showers. Surprise! The second week of winter break, sleet and ice storms hit the metroplex, keeping many students dormant in their homes for two days. Some attempted to defy the laws of nature by getting in their cars to carry out their daily business. lust when the threat of ice and snow storms was over, a cold front moved in during February. Ice on roads and streets literally closed down Dallas for four days. Schools closed for two days, malls closed early, and many businesses declared a short, but inevitable, holiday. However, the snow didn't keep students from having a good time. Movies, malls, and restaurants at- tracted the bored, and this short break from school became a vacation. Despite this year's unusual con- ditions, winter wasn't just a weather report. It was a time for warm nights by the fireplace and double features at the movie theater. Students considered winter the most involved for their school year. Although this year's unusual 'Texas winter was sometimes a contradiction in terms, for some it added a special touch of magic for the dull landscape of dead trees and brown grass. HI didn't like the idea of having to make up the two days, but I had fun playing in the snow, junior Heather Hinson said. lShmockl By March, the threat of ice and snow was over.
