Snowfall Surprises Students

By The Purchase Phoenix


On the night of Nov. 21 into the early hours of Nov. 22, Purchase experienced its first snowfall as the fall season draws to a close.


This follows a rainy day on campus and a week of warm temperatures, reaching into the high 70s.


To celebrate the snowfall, students gathered around campus to make snowmen, snow angels, and go sledding all throughout the night.
