I spent my lunch break yesterday marveling at how Thursday’s blizzard transformed the boardwalk behind Edgewood College.

The sight of the cattails and other vegetation wrapped in snow was magical.

At first I was surprised to see so many footprints in the 15 inches of heavy, wet snow. Even though the sun was out, the strong winds made the cold temps feel even colder. But then I thought… who wouldn’t sacrifice a bit to see sights like these?
