Ever it holds me with magic spell: K-State’s campus during the January winter storm
By Tim Schrag '12
Winter Storm Fern brought more than five inches of snow to Manhattan, Kansas, from Jan. 23-25. As the flakes continued to drop Tim Schrag ’12, senior editor of K-Stater magazine, put on his snow gear and grabbed a camera to take some photos of campus.
The claw of the Wildcat Statue on the Johnson Terrace was starting to disappear. When
I measured the snow in that area it was nearly five inches around noon on Jan. 24.

The Anderson Hall Spire, K-State Student Union and Bosco Student Plaza had a stillness
on Saturday that is rare for the space.
Snow gathering on the K-State Student Union sign caught my eye.
Snow gathered atop the umbrellas at Bosco Student Plaza.
A K-State Facilities worker was clearing the steps to Seaton Hall. This team was out
in full force. They don’t get enough credit for their hard work in winter weather.
Anderson Hall and its famous lawn are always putting on a show no matter the season.
Did you know that oak tree is likely more than 120 years old.
The flag poles at the WWII Memorial were proudly waving in the winter weather. Kansas
Day is coming up later this week on Jan. 29.
Snow on the Bluemont Bell, named for K-State’s predecessor institution, Bluemont Central College.
Snow collects on one of the few pine trees on campus. Pine trees aren’t common on campus because they don’t favor well in Kansas conditions.

Lots of things pointing upward in Coffman Commons between the trees, light poles and
