Snow Day

On December 5, the ground was covered with snow from the night before, and was enough to cause JMU to cancel classes.  So everyone went into "snow mode".  Some studied, some slept in, and others went playing!  I went out after sleeping and working on various academic items, and visited with the people sledding out by the ISAT Building.

Also, I not only photographed for this set - I also played with some of Big Mavica's movie feature.  Thus this is actually mostly movies.  They're in WMV format, which should work in Windows Media Player.  They are indeed a scream...

As you can see, the JMU campus and the city beyond are covered in snow.

Such a mass of people at ISAT, don't you think?

Some people really get serious about sledding and bring their stuff in the car...
