CyPix: Bundle Up!

A group of women sets out from a brick building at Iowa State University in the winter of 1915. All are wearing coats and hats, and carying hatboxes. Several of the coats appear to be made of fur (racoon?); others appear to be a heavy wool.

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone around here that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Sunday, predicting 6 more weeks of winter. After weathering two “polar vortices,” and with more snow today, Iowa State students have been having to bundle up this winter. Stay warm and dream warm thoughts of spring!

In this photo, Iowa State students from 1915 are wearing heavy fur and wool coats and hats as they leave a building on campus.
