It’s almost December, the thermostat is quickly dropping to that 32º mark, and you know what that means. It’s time for Bwog’s Second Annual “First Flake of the Season” contest!
Although no weather services have predicted snow for a while, there is going to be very cold rain this week and next. Bwog has been starved of snow all semester and isn’t going to lose hope for seeing some flakes before the end of the term. History says that we should be nearing freezing temperatures, and besides, we all know how accurate weather predictions can be.
So once again, we’re giving away a prize to the first person who can spot a snowflake on campus. If you see one, let us know where and when with either a post in the comments or an email.
Good luck and happy snowgazing!

@Your mother is a flake. Do I win?
@2150 can’t wait for snow! it’s so much less messy than rain!!
@except when it melts, freezes, or becomes slush
@ws The contest is “on campus.” Baker Field may be included technically, but I think the spirit of the contest is in seeing one on central campus.
@What do we win?
@I saw snow falling briefly downtown over break.
@Anonymous I am also a snowflake. And I am one of a kind.
@tyler durden You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else!
@I am a snowflake.
@Ha! I see a snowflake! Now where’s my prize?
(This contest is administratively impractical, easily corruptible, and lame.)
@november there was a tiny bit of snow up at baker field in november. melted immediately on contact.
@What do you call it if you pretend to do it in the snow?
Flakin’ it!
