Under the dormitory, a classmate adjusting the camera

At the corner of the dormitory, a bicycle covered in snow

A couple between two buildings

Duxue Building, white snow and red walls

Cone-shaped trees, red and green, a late Christmas atmosphere

Snow piled on top of a trash can, the first thing that came to mind was the pointed rice in the supermarket

Pine needles are one of the few green things you can see in the winter in the north

Another shade of green

Main road of the school

Can't tell if it's Lu Xun or Li Bai at first glance

Winter jasmine can catch the snow on its thin branches

Another perspective, the yellow thing in the distance is the food delivery cabinet

Finally found a bench with intact snow. The others were all used to build snowmen

In front of the library, a small path has already been trampled by people

In the afternoon, my roommate called me out to have a snowball fight. At first, I thought it was a joke, but when I got to the playground, I found that it was crowded with people. Fortunately, there were still places with thick snow. This is the second time since college that I have been in such a lively playground. The last time was in my freshman year when I participated in the sports meeting

I've heard before that the world becomes quiet after it snows. At first, I thought it was a kind of synesthesia because the earth is covered with snow and the evenly distributed snowflakes in the sky are like mist, making white and gray the background of the entire field of vision, while other colors are like decorations on a canvas.

But later, when I arrived at the playground, I realized that even though I could hear everyone's noise, even the people around me seemed to be speaking from a farther place. It was as if my ears were blocked, and the world had lost its background noise.

E said it's because the gaps in the snow can cancel out echoes, just like the walls of a theater.

Hmm, that makes sense.
