#TBT in the Archives 1/28/2016: Ship Snowstorms
This past weekend, Shippensburg was bombarded with over 30 inches of snow! Large amounts of snow falling on Shippensburg University's campus is nothing new. There have been many snow storms to rock campus throughout Ship's long history!
In January 1964 the campus was stunned when 18.29 inches fell over three days. Thankfully the grounds crew was able to remove the snow quickly over the weekend so life on campus could go back to normal.
Nearly 20 years later, in 1983, the campus was once again covered in a huge layer of snow. This snowfall, like the one we just experienced, also resulted in campus being closed for several days. Students took the opportunity to play in the snow and have some time for fun! Though they didn't have any sleds, some students borrowed milk crates or food trays from the cafeteria to glide down the hills. Others had snow ball fights or spent their time trying to free their vehicles from the copious amounts of snow.
After another 20 years had passed, the snowstorm of 2003 came through Shippensburg, once again closing campus and cancelling classes. These students, like those in 1983, knew how to spend a snow day! 24 inches of snow fell over a very short time and students took full advantage of being able to act like kids again.
How did you spend your time during Storm Jonas? Let us know in the comments below!
