Freezing Temperatures in Spring caused many students, including seniors Maya Senthikumar and Vismaya Paul, to bundle up in their winter coats again as they headed to class in the portables. The below freezing temperatures occurred just a few days after the pleasantly warm weather that seemed to mark the beginning of spring. "At this point, I'm used to this erratic weather pattern," Senthikumar said, "but it's still a bit concerning because I know this isn't normal but it's becoming normalized in our lives."
