For a tropical native who is used to swim suits, t-shirts and short skirts, Albany is like a snow globe. There’s ice and snow everywhere, the trees are all glazed and the sun isn’t out. To freshman Sasha Williams, in Albany “when it’s cold, its freezing and when it’s hot, it’s too hot. There’s no intermediate.” She said that she didn’t slip or fall while walking through the slush that is everywhere but she had to be extra careful.
The usual rush of students from Indian quad to the podium looks like a mass of bent over waddlers. Everyone is still in a rush but anyone could tell that no one wants to be outside. When asked if she played in the snow, Williams said “no, I did not play in the snow. It’s dirty, mucky and just eww.”
Who could blame her? The snow was ranging from the shades cream to black, and everyone around is trying to walk around and jump over the puddles of dark slush. Most people aren’t wearing rubber boots or boots at all. Even with her long wool coat, Williams is unprepared for the weather with orange low cut sneakers. The attire of the other students’ is similar. Most are not even wearing jackets, just sneakers or shoes, jeans and sweaters. They must have lots of complaints about the weather.
