'Snow joke out there

Since we live in the northeast, it means that we get the best kind of weather: sweltering hot/humid summers and cold, dry winters. Now that it’s March, Brown’s campus is finally getting some significant snow, the kind that allows for a class cancellation (unless your professor decided to still have class that day)(Big yikes). But with Providence being close to the coast, the snow isn’t likely to stay for too long. You’ve got to find the best way to make use of the snow while it’s still all over campus. Here are some things you can do.

1. Make a sculpture of Blueno right next to him.It’s almost endearing. Give him a little food container hat and he'll be indistinguishable from our beloved big blue boy. 
2. Make your new frat pledges build an igloo in the middle of the night.Cognitive dissonance does wonders for keeping members in groups.
3. Draw a giant dick outside of that one building you hate. Draw a dick in front of your professor’s house (maybe the one who made you come to class before noon). With snow blanketing our campus, we have a fresh canvas for a masterpiece.
4. Use the snow as a coolant for the boiling hot coffee you got from the Ratty. We all know that the cardboard cup holders do SQUAT for protecting your hands, and it’s going to be up to you. You’re surrounded by a massive heat sink. USE IT!
5. Makeshift sno-cones. Just be careful where you get your snow from...sno-cones shouldn’t come in “lemon” or “salt trail” and it should definitely not come in “bear tracks.”
6. Snow skinny dipping. It’s just skinny dipping. In snow. You may or may not contract hypothermia.
7. Commit murder and leave evidence all over the place.It won’t take a detective to figure this one out. (Chill, it's just a nosebleed.)
8. Become the new Nathan Chen. The crispy layer of ice over the snow should suffice for practicing those beautiful quads. Maybe you can even move onto the black ice for a challenge.
9. Build yourself a new dorm. Your current dorm might have a rat problem. Or maybe it constantly smells of weed. Whatever the problem is, you have a solution right beneath your nose - literally. Burrow into the giant snowbank. Make a little chair and a desk and, if you’re really into electrical engineering, make some outlets. Then, add a couple pieces of furniture and maybe host a small party (Granoff dinners who?) in your new dorm. And it costs nothing! It’s a seasonal sale—take advantage while you can!
10. Solve climate change. Look. The icebergs are melting. We’ve got rising sea levels. All we need to do is just take the snow we got and stick it onto the polar ice caps. There you go. Problem solved. All the arctic creatures going extinct because of melting ice? Back and flourishing. Thanks to you and the one snowstorm.
