Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Maryland weather isn't predictable, and that can be annoying when walking around campus all day. In November, it can be sunny and 60 F one day and snowing the next. Fall runs from September to November, with temperatures between 50 and 80 F, and winter runs from December through February, with temperatures from below zero to 60 F. Wear layers of clothing because the temperature often warms up in the afternoon. It snows frequently in the winter, but it usually results in a slushy mess more often than it accumulates on the ground. However, when it sticks, it can stack up. Snow days are the best days—the snow-covered campus is beautiful, and it becomes even more beautiful when you find out classes are canceled.

Spring starts mid-March and runs through May. While the temperature ranges from 40 F to 80 F, the wind chill in March knocks down the temperature by 10 F, so don’t put away your winter clothes just yet. April is notorious for torrential downpours. May is the best month on campus, and students fill the residential quad on these warm, sunny days. Temperatures from June through August can reach up to 100 F, and with the humidity, it’s almost enough to knock you out. While the weather and seasons are unpredictable, overall, it is certainly bearable, as well as beautiful.

A Happy Medium

Apparently this winter has been out of the ordinary, but it's been gorgeous here since February. Everything's green, and it's warm and sunny during the day. About once a week, there's a rainy, kind of gross day, but the pretty days far outnumber the bad. You get a nice mix of north and south, with a little bit of snow and a lot of sunshine. It get's pretty hot over the summer, though.

It hardly ever snows here and when it does the town is sure to shut down. Many professors live far away and in-climate weather is a reason for them to cancel class. The winter here is mild and there are a ton of outdoor activities
