Remembrances
The days are getting longer, the temperatures are slowly rising and the robins have begun to return. To the joy of
most students, spring has returned to Erie. After the snow began to melt this year, visible marks were left as to how Mother
Nature rava led the Behrend cam .us. Below are 'ust a few exam .les of what winter left behind.
A cone warns students and vehicles of the road erosion that occurred on the path between Ohio and Almy Halls and the
Science building.
Brick landscaping was uprooted by a large mound of snow near the Nick building
Trees outside of the Science building are still bare, but within the next few weeks they will begin showing signs of life as the
temperatures begin nearing 50 degrees.
A small pile of snow mixes with mud outside of the Reed building, reminding students of the harsh winter weather Erie has to
offer, even in April.
