[Photo Story] Snow Day In Happy Valley

“Do you wanna build a snowman?”

Students woke up on Wednesday with no classes but a whole lot of snow, folks!

Happy Valley once again transformed into a winter wonderland, and students were thrilled, to say the least. Our photographers braced the cold and set out to capture campus in all of its snowy glory.

Oh, Lion Shrine. Snow looks too good on you!

Dozens of students participated in snowball fights and played in the snow throughout the day right outside the HUB, East Halls, and Old Main.

Campus looked gorgeous with a fresh coat of snow.

Some students got into the snow day spirit by creating larger-than-life snowballs… on top of Pollock’s covered walkway.

Enjoy the snow and stay warm, Penn Staters!
