Campus has suffered through an extreme cold spell, with temperatures dropping below zero for 12 nights in a row. While it makes outdoor activities difficult, the extreme cold gives campus buildings an eerie, beautiful look, with steam lit up by the winter sunlight. Luckily, the weather is looking warmer in the next few days, with highs in the double digits, and lows above zero.
