President's Day Weekend Snow
February 15th (and 16th, and 17th), 2003

It might seem that the Dickinson community would be used to snowfalls by now. This season we had snows before Thanksgiving, in early December, and even on Christmas Day. On President's Day weekend, however, we got hit with the biggest storm since 1996. Nearly two feet fell on the region, and the college was forced to close and cancel classes. That didn't stop college photographer A. Pierce Bounds '71 from venturing out, however.
