Winter storm Jonas officially rolled into town at roughly 5 AM this morning and general tomfoolery and childlike behavior has ensued on campus after students awoke. Off campus, however, the stores have been full of worried shoppers and-- according to Snapchats from my friends-- bread has been flying off the shelves.

Campus has been a little haven full of fun times, laughter, and winter puns that have gained looks from my friends akin to this:

Sledding and snow fights could be heard all around campus as my fellow students enjoyed their day off.

The puns are snow big deal, but the storm itself is. The Weather Channel has listed blizzard warnings from D.C. to New York and travel is pretty much impossible for everyone trapped in the snowstorm. While the blizzard part of Jonas is going to hit my family at home in Northern Virginia, the snow has still been pretty heavy here in Roanoke, Virginia. Predictions have been all over the place, but there's between a foot and a foot and a half of snow in much of southwest Virginia.

Since the weather has forced the roughly 80 million people in the storm's path to stay home, put down the shovel, grab a sled, and find a hill. The storm is going to last through the weekend and class has already been cancelled. Feel free to horse around in the snow and have a good time.
