Southern students saw the most snow southeastern Tennessee has had since the storm
of 1993. The snow began falling on Sunday, January 9, 2011 and left more than eight
inches behind. This caused schools in the area, including Southern, to be closed for
days due to inclement weather.
The campus quickly erupted with snowball fights, snowmen of every size (one was even
in the likeness of President Gordon Bietz), and igloos built at the front of campus.
Students enjoyed the break from school and the wintery weather and were in high spirits
to start the new semester off right when classes resumed Wednesday morning.
Watch a video of the snow day at Southern.
