Christmas in October?

This Saturday at Eastern University there was snow. Now normally if it was November or December it would be reasonable but the one thing I can’t wrap my min around is that it is still October! When I first heard that it was supposed to snow I didn’t really believe it. I thought that it was going to be like most screwed up forecasts that say that is going to snow but really it ends up that it is just rain. I was somewhat prepared just in case it did snow; I wore a scarf, hoodie, sweatpants and snow boots. When I walked outside of my dorm it was still just raining but not even a full hour later it had started to snow. Snow in October, who knew that this would ever happen? Anyway, it continued to snow all day long. It snowed so much that the power went out on campus at least three different times. This was mildly inconvenient but thanks to the really bright flashlight that I have I didn’t break my leg walking around in the dark. Thankfully, the emergency lights were on so that I could get some work done in the hall.
                Advice: Whenever you start to think that it is starting to get cold always go home and get your winter clothes because you never know what the weather will be like and you don’t want to wind up in the middle of a blizzard wearing shorts and flip flops.
