If you haven’t heard, the entire northeast got pounded with a massive blizzard over this past weekend. Here in Milton we got over two feet of snow and had two unplanned days off from school. When we went to bed Thursday, the quad was empty, but when we finally came out after the storm on Saturday morning, let’s just say that you were not going outside without boots on. I woke up sometime around ten on Saturday and some of my dorm-mates in Forbes House and I decided to help the dorm parents dig out their cars that were plowed in. The twenty of us that were out there along with the help of a few faculty members, occasionally a snow plow, and once a massive backhoe (I think it cleared more snow than everything else combined!), were able to free about ten faculty cars and clear a good amount of walkway from under what seemed like a mountain of snow. Turned out that while a group of us were shoveling for free, a few other people had taken the initiative to walk around the neighborhood attempting to actually make some money shoveling driveways (They were not successful). I can’t say shoveling is the most enjoyable experience I have had at Milton, but after a while it became a fun bonding experience. With occasional snowball fights mixed in, we managed to get all the cars out pretty quickly and got a pretty good workout in at the same time. Check out a picture of our snow shoveling operation below.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
