Snow days are a rarity in the university world.  Most college students expect to leave their valued snow days behind once they pack their belongings and head to college. Students on the campus of Central Michigan University enjoyed a snow day on Monday, Jan. 28 due to inclement weather, including severe wind chills and below zero temperatures.

Grand Central met up with a few CMU students to share their favorite way to enjoy a snow day. Some may have chosen to enjoy the snow, while others wished to stay warm inside. They might have different ideas on how to celebrate, but we all appreciated this much needed snow day.

Jackie Anaele and Lyndi Rose decided to spend some of their snow day assorting their box of paper clips into a long string. “It’s 105 paper clips and it only took about ten minutes,” Rose said.

With only one of a handful of snow days in the past decade, CMU students took advantage of the day off by doing a variety of activities. With the polar vortex continuing for the rest of the week, these activities may be just the start.
