The sporadic flurries that blew through Boston on Tuesday and stayed through most of Thursday brought students outside to enjoy a snowy campus.

Trees glistened as the first significant snowfall of the semester blew across streets and sidewalks, resting on benches and clinging to the knit hats of students. As they made their way to in-person classes, students stopped to build snowmen and warm their mitten-clad hands by the new fire pits found across campus.
