February 6, 2018

Winter hit the UW–Madison campus in full force this week, with plenty of snow and dropping temperatures, but students are a hardy bunch. They bundled up and made their way to class, and many even partook in the first events of the Hoofer’s Winter Carnival, which continues all week.
