Bring an Umbrella and Rainboots

Lewisburg is not known for its sunny disposition - the town receives a great deal of rain each year. This past year was especially bad, with the Susquehanna River, which runs parallel to campus, actually flooding and forcing classes to be canceled for a day as everyone scrambled to find temporary accommodations. It was the apex of a very rainy year to begin with, much of which was a constant light drizzle - enough to get you wet, but not enough to warrant full rain gear.

The snowfall at Bucknell is light (though still present), and the winters are definitely cold. That said, on a sunny spring day, with temperatures at a balmy 75 F, you can't help but sigh a little to yourself as you walk down a quad filled with people sunbathing, doing homework, playing Frisbee, and otherwise enjoying the amazing weather.

Rainy

Lots of rain this year and apparently the winters are pretty gnarly but nothing that I'm not used to. When it's nice out though, it's gorgeous. The sun shines right down on campus and you can see the mountains and hills. Beautiful.

Windy, Rainy, Cold.

It rains a lot here, and mostly without warning. Several dorms are downhill, so going up stairs or walking up the hill in the wind and the rain sucks. We haven't had a snow day in years, despite 3 foot snowfalls. Bucknell has gorgeous early fall and late spring sunsets, so it balances out.
