The weatherman called for a snowy nor’easter on Tuesday, and Mother Nature did not disappoint. By noon, Ramapo’s campus was blanketed in up to eight inches of white powder, with nearly all offices shut down and classes moved online. Students took this as an opportunity to bundle up and adventure onto campus. From sledding down Ramapo’s many hills, to building snowmen in the Village and Laurel quads, to pelting each other with snowballs, students found ways to entertain themselves with the snowfall and celebrate their canceled classes.
