TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 With classes cancelled due to weather, Troy students got to enjoy a weather phenomenon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I looked out the window and saw snow everywhere,” said sophomore TJ Watkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I didn’t believe it was going to snow,” said junior Colby Dehoff. “I was at Walmart, and all of a sudden, it started snowing really hard. It was surprising because I wasn’t expecting it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This snow day came with a mix of surprise and excitement for many students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I first woke up and looked out the window, there was no snow, so I was sad and disappointed,” said junior Kaylee Traylor. “I took a shower, and when I got out and looked again, it was covered in snow. That really shocked me.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I got outside, it was snowing a lot, so I was really surprised,” said junior Nora Hollinghead. “I didn’t think it would snow at all, so I was really glad it was.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it was with a snowball fight, making snow angels, or even snowmen, students made sure to take advantage of their snow day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We walked to the quad to look at the snow, made snow angels, and hopefully make a snowman later,” said Dehoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some students, this is the first time in a long time that they’ve seen snow like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m from Montgomery, so I haven’t seen snow since I was nine years old,” said Watkins. “When we do get snow, it doesn’t stick. I haven’t ever made a snowball.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think I was thirteen the last time it snowed,” said Traylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After campus closed due to weather for most of the week, classes resumed Friday. Students agreed that this snow day was a nice break from their usual routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
