First Snow of the Season

caption: A winter wonderland: Blanche Levy Park and College Hall on December 9

Earlier this month, the University of Pennsylvania, along with the rest of the Philadelphia area, was blanketed with more than three inches—the first snow of the season and the snowiest December 9 on record for this area. Since it was a Saturday it did not have as much impact as a weekday storm like last Friday. The University rarely has had to close for snow unless there is a record-breaking snowfall like there was in February 2010 when 16 inches fell (Almanac February 16, 2010).
