Southern Illinois University students had their first snow-day of the school year on February 16 2015. I initially set out to grab at least one image that was news worthy however I ended up snapping a bit more that I thought was worth being published. I spent the day watching students scrape ice off of their vehicle as I worked a better angle from inside their car.
As i stated, initially I didnt plan to get many pictures because their was no one outside due to inclement weather. However the more I walked around the more the images revealed themselves to me. I guess today I learned their is always a good image waiting to be taken, I just have to find them.
