Snowmageddon!

A rare winter storm covered us in a beautiful white blanket this morning. Giant snow flakes continued to fall well into the afternoon, accumulating somewhere between 4-6 inches. It was the perfect snowfall that beckoned you to come out to play, the perfect density to shape and mold. As we took some shots of the campus, we came across evidence of a snowball fight or two, as well as some random happy snowmen ready for their close-ups. See more photos on our Facebook page, and share your own by sending campus pics to me.

The foot of snow was nice once the driveways and the main roads were cleared.

The snow was a shocker to me. I was watching television the other day and I was jealous of NJ getting snow. The next day when I was at work the snow started coming down and during my break majority of the co-worker was outside throwing snowball. It was a fun activity. I'm kinda of glad that we are having snow it seem like Arkansas miss out on alot of things.Also I CAN ENJOY THE FREE SNOW DAY FROM SCHOOL GIVES BOTH THE TEACHER AND STUDENTS BREAK LOL.

Nice Snow Pics! -I got stuck at parents' place. I had no knowledge of the snow coming! I was just about to eat dinner and head home, until my niece informed me the outside was filled with ice & snow! I just wish I knew ahead of time; I would have been prepared for it.

Love the pics. Was utterly shocked to see it snowing as if rain was coming down. Our campus is lovely covered in white, wish I was close enough to take some shots of it myself.

This does not make sense at all...the weather for today(wednesday) will be just as good as tueday, don't know why they had to cancel again today.As a student I think we are beginning to fall back with our semester set syllabus'. I really was looking forward in going to all my classes today. I hope the message on the website changes at least at 6am!

My hometown is Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I miss the snow. This snowfall here is so beautiful, light and fluffy. My 2 Doxies roll in it....they flip it up in the air with their noses (they are from Germany afterall). My Chihuahua looks at them like "what are you guys nuts"?? He is from Mexico!! LOL.

Me, I am a snowbird and LOVE the snow!! Wish I could go skiing!!! It has been fun having the time off to catch up on homework too! Thanks UALR and God and Mother Nature!!!

A snowfall is an incredibly peaceful experience to me. I have lived in Minnesota and miss not having much snow here. Our campus is really beautiful. I live in Hot Springs, it was pretty here too but wish I could have been here as it fell.

I love the snowmen, they are really cute!

Nice pics, the campus always looks good. Why all of the sudden does it look good in white?

The snow is beautiful here in Arkansas. My son in Maryland, though, is very tired of it as 29.5 inches fell at his house and another 12+ inches is in the process of falling. Don't want that much here!!!

I'm going to miss it now that it's all gone-- I really got a kick at (attempting) to make a snowman and (attempting) to sled.

Unfortunately, I'm very clumsy.

I am also going to miss the snow, now that it's all gone-- I also really got a kick at (attempting) to make a snowman and (attempting) to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.

I'm also going to miss the sun as it rose on Tuesday morning after the dreary like overcast on monday.

Unfortunately, I know all things come to an end.

The pictures are beautiful! It was great to have snow last Monday. But then Tuesday and Wednesday were not that fun staying at home :)
