Yes, we tromped and slid through the Blizzard of 2015 last week.

Sure, it snowed the day before yesterday, and will snow again tomorrow. But winter is a glorious time, and these pictures prove it.

Leaving Pettigrew after class, students head down Alumni Walk toward Commons for lunch.

THE SUN ALSO riseS IN MAINE

Despite snow and cold, the sun also rises. Proof is in the picture.
