Snow Day At Grambling?
I was knocked out as my phone rang at 11:19 a.m. It was our university editor Wanda Peters giving me a ring. I’d just went to sleep about 3 hours earlier, working on some projects so I was tired. However, I was quickly awakened.
“Wake up and look outside…it’s snowing!”
I was at the front door in less than 5 seconds. Snow was coming down HARD before my very eyes. I couldn’t believe it! Snow? In North Louisiana? Crazy! It was the quickest I’d ever gotten dressed to head to Grambling.
Yes…believe it or not…it actually SNOWED at Grambling. To my unofficial count…it snowed for at least 4 hours straight. The last time it snowed, if I remember correctly, was February of 2004. I may not be completely accurate, as I’ll have to do some hunting for the last snow picture I took, but I do remember it snowing somewhere along those lines.
Of course, snowball fights were going crazy (I still owe the Bookstore Manager for pelting me with a snowball!). They were so crazy that the police officers tried to come break up some of them. Unfortunately…some of them were pelted with snowballs as well. The funniest thing was when the cops started arresting students, and the students booed them like they were in the wrong. Very interesting day!
A photo gallery of the Snow Day will be uploaded on Monday, as school was closed before we could get all our photographers together! But rest assured…it was a day that the students of GSU will not forget!
