Got snow?

Haling from the greatest place in the world, I thought it my duty as an Albertan to set some ground rules now that this mysterious white substance has landed on Trinity’s campus. I’ve been involved in many a snowball fight in my day, and now I will outline some rules by which snowball fights should be fought.

Firstly and most importantly, no yellow snow balls. You all know what this entails. Your parents may have told you to never eat yellow snow. Well, I’m here to tell you to not throw that snow at my face.

Secondly, do not put rocks into the snowballs. This is not cool. If you did not know, snow balls are formed out of ice. Ice hurts enough. Nobody needs ice and a rock in the eye.

Do not throw snowballs at my window. Aside from scaring the life out of me, my windows are made out of glass. For the logically challenged, this means that my windows run the risk of being broken. As much as I love glass being shattered in my face, I would prefer it if everyone refrained.
Do not pick up chunks of ice and pretend its snow. I’ll know it’s a two pound chunk of frozen water once I wake up from my unconsciousness. Simply find some snow and make it into a ball.

Make a fort. This is not mandatory, but it sure makes snowball fights a lot more fun. Forts are truly awesome, and once you have a fort you can take over other forts in your endless quest for snow supremacy. The lower mainland lacks in snow quantity so forts are harder to come by, but be imaginative. Use your dorm mate’s blankets and pillows to build the castle of your dreams. The only thing cooler than a snowball fight is an unjustified raid by you and your fort on an unsuspecting victim.
