As of noon on January 30, 2014, the College of Charleston is open and operating normally. With bridge closures and traffic delays, all members of the College community are encouraged to be patient and cooperate with one another in accommodating these challenges.

While the College was closed as a precautionary measure over the last two days, students took to Twitter and Instagram to document the elusive “CofC Snow Day.”

Here are 10 photos that best demonstrate exactly what happens when the Lowcountry encounters snow:
