October Snow

The Class of 2015 at Holy Cross is probably wondering about the weather. They moved in during Hurricane Irene, and their first experience of Family Weekend occurred in the midst of a nor-easter that brought 6 to 8 inches of snow to campus. Although the heavy, wet snow caused some widespread tree damage and power outages around the greater Worcester region, spirits at the College generally remained high, bolstered by the influx of family and friends, as well as the beauty that emerged in the wake of the storm. It's fair to say that we've been both tricked and treated by this pre-Halloween snow.
