One of my favorite Clinton winter memories is leaving my Freshman dorm (Root) to walk the short distance to McEwen and seeing that a light snow had fallen just as dusk arrived. On many days, there wasn’t a large snowfall — just this early evening covering. I always think of it as Clinton’s version of the late afternoon thunderstorms you get in the tropics. Except our snow was quiet, understated, and quite lovely. Just a way to draw a fine line between afternoon and evening. By the time dinner was over, often the snow was too and most traces of it had been erased by our boots.
