SURVIVING THE SNOWPOCALYPSE STUDENTS GOT A REPRIEVE FROM SCHOOL AND STUDIES WHEN TWO LARGE BLIZZARDS HIT FAYETTEVILLE IN FEBRUARY windows of Vol Walker Hall glow like beacons in i ex P a nse of deserted white. Snow swoops over the landscape in drifts. Junior, architecture major, Paul Mosley is inside the studio w ith his third-year peers, drafting away because they know their deadlines won’t change, when he gets the call from RazAlert saying that the university will be closed the next day due to inclement weather. Even though they’ve been getting these calls on and off for the past two weeks, nobody’s excitement has lessened. Everyone in studio just turned into monkeys,” Mosley said. Two back-to-back blizzards, dubbed a Snowpocalypse, torced the university to close from Feb. 1-3, open late and c lose early on Feb. 4, and then close again from Feb. 8-11. Also called Snowmageddon 2011, the dredges of snow that buried Fayetteville were a blessing for students needing a reprieve an d a tribulation for anyone needing to get somewhere. Eeb. io, several hours after the architecture students rejoiced ln lker, sophomore, anthropology major, Camille Wallace hraved the ice to rush her friend, junior, philosophy major, Nathaniel Wray, to Washington Regional Hospital. Wray suffered m a stomach virus for which he ultimately needed three me dications, but recovered well. Was so ridiculous in the hospital parking lot,” Wallace said. “There were mountains of snow and s °meone was stuck and we had to help get them out.” adventure convinced Wallace that the university was 1Se to close. “People were whining about it,” Wallace said, k u E as someone who had to drive someone to the emergency ro ° m that night, it is a very good thing they canceled class.” Aside from her hospital visit, an excursion to Dickson tree b engaging in a snowball fight at the Greek Theater that rallied nearly 300 participants and an earlier drive to Bordino’s Restaurant to celebrate her birthday on Feb. 4, Wallace weathered most of the unexpected break in Humphreys dormitory. “We beat Fable 3 in like two days,” Wallace said of the video game marathons that waylaid boredom on her floor. “There was nothing else to do, and the teachers weren’t giving us work because they were all fixing their syllabi.” THINK THE BEST PART WAS WHENEVER IT WAS LIKE A FOOT IN HALF DEEP, OF TWO FEET DEEP.” -PAUL MOSLEY Finding work wasn’t a problem for Mosley. “I was in the studio for at least six hours every snow day,” he said. He walked to campus from his apartment, not just to avoid driving, but also to enjoy the beauty of the snow. “I think the best part was whenever it was like a foot in a half deep, or two feet deep,” he said, “I’d never seen anything like that in my life. Even though it made everything difficult, it was still amazing. The best part was just seeing it, falling in it, walking in it, pushing (my roommate) in it.” Even though the snow was hazardous and lasted longer than students and teachers expected, Wallace said, “Of course I loved the fact that we got to play video games and eat Ramen for a couple of days and just not worry about homework or anything. It got us a little behind, but it was fun while it lasted.” STORY JILLIAN HANON SNOWPOCALYPSE | STUDENT LIFE 1 5
