MTSU announced on Monday night that their offices would be closed due to inclement weather that would occur early Tuesday morning. When the sun rose, students were met with a more beautiful look on campus as snow covered everything in sight.
From the Student Union to Peck Hall, students were given their first official snow day of the new semester to rest, relax or if they really wanted to, go out and play tackle football in the snow. With Spring classes set to begin on Wednesday, everyone had one more opportunity to do as they please before the inevitable arrival of school.
