Rolling in the snow

It was snowing really heavily last Friday, was my first experience seeing falling snow. =)
The walkways were very slippery and traffic was moving very slowly everywhere. I took this picture of a car which stopped in front of me, and i thought it was rather funny.

How do you drive like this! Haha. This was the extent of the snowfall while i was walking to meet some students;

Having said that, it's rather nice when it snows, everything is a sea of white, and it's actually not that cold. Apparently if it's too cold, it doesn't snow, the conditions have to be just right.

The university organized a weekend retreat to a ski resort up in the Pocono Mountains over the weekend. It was a pretty relaxing weekend. We did a few rides, walked on a frozen lake, threw snow at one another and skiing.

The main lodge

I got a single room while the students shared 3 to 1..haha

Just outside the main lodge

Frozen lake!

Skiing and snowboarding

I tried to ski as well, but was pretty hopeless at it. Haha. Maybe next time i will try snowboarding instead. We should be back again in the summer, where they have other kinds of activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing and hiking. Looking forward!

The weather is kind of crazy, look at the outlook for Wednesday!

 17 degrees!!! That's quite a drastic swing in a matter of days!
