Dartmouth in February

I can't believe you bastards get a snow day.

The Chubbernet graybeards are in fine form on the listserv this morning - recalling the last time Dartmouth had a snow day, in 1978:

That was the winter I had a job out at CRREL north of Hanover. Not having a car, I used to ski to work via the golf course. I started out on the golf course that morning, but gave up breaking trail after a while and made my way over to Rte. 10/Lyme Rd. There were no cars out so I just skied down the main highway. What a memorable storm!
