Spring Break
First Sustained Snowfall of 2009

Issue date: 3/4/09 Section: Opinion
Around 3PM central time on Saturday, frozen precipitation began pitter-pattering the ground like shaved ice. Because I had no cherry-watermelon flavouring, I could not completely enjoy my sno cone.
Being a Memphis resident for many years has taught me to appreciate weather phenomena other than heat spells. For the past few days I have enjoyed the snow and accompanying ice. However the courteous sand application makes me miss the beach. Speaking of which, I am looking forward to a spring break getaway to Destin, FL, where I am sure I will run in to some of you.
As for the short-term local weather forecast, we should enjoy the coming spring weather. For the remainder of this week, we will be experiencing mid to low 70's with a soothing breeze. Don't get too comfortable; however, next week expect dastardly rain coupled with spectacular showcases of thunder and lightning.
As a helpful reminder, be sure to carry your favorite Hannah Montana umbrella as getting wet before class will surely make you uncomfortable when giving that big presentation in front of your special crush.
