[118 Tech]

One night last week in Lubbock here at Texas Tech we got a lot of snow. It was crazy becuase during the day it was warm. I was wearing shorts and sandalls and it felt like it was in the mid - 70's. At one point during the afternoon it got dark all of the sudden and became really windy. During the night i look out the window and it was snowing, the first time this school year. It was coming down really fast and in quarter size clumps of snowflakes.

It was pretty cool becuase everyone went out and played in it. The soccerfields outside my dorm still had their lights on for what was going to be the flag football games. A ton of people were out there having snow fights probably about from midnight till 3.

Class was not cancelled and the snow was melted by noon.

Last year around November it snowed enough for the school to cancel class here. Also i was excited becuase it was the first time for me to see real snowfall, and I was a freshman in college. In Houston you dont get much snow at all. In the 13 years I lived there it snowed 3 times. Once it was cold enough for it to stick for a few 2 or 3 hours, but thats it. The other times it was just cold enough to either have freezing rain or non-sticking snow.
