Wabash Blanketed By First Winter Storm of 2010
A stiff, cold wind from the northwest made it a brisk day in Crawfordsville after a nasty winter storm dropped about six inches of snow on the Wabash Campus. Campus Services staff kept parking lots and sidewalks clear in spite of constantly falling and blowing snow.

Graduates before the early 1990s remember this building as Yandes Hall — and some remember it as Yandes Library. Now it's Detchon Center, but the "back door" to the arboretum is still the most beautiful (and photogenic) aspect of the building.

The intensity of the snowfall eased up a bit during the noon hour, which was about the same time the wind picked up and temperatures dropped. By 2 p.m., it was again snowing and blowing at full strength.
