A blast of cold weather brought a winter landscape to Raleigh this week, an unusual sight on the NC State University campus.

From the NC State Dairy Farm and the Chicken Education Unit to the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering to the JC Raulston Arboretum, take a look at our CALS environment dusted in snow.

It was a quiet, cold morning at the Chicken Education Unit on Lake Wheeler Road.

The NC State Dairy Farm was mooing with excitement over the wintry weather.

The cold temperatures turned Lake Wheeler Road Field Laboratory into a snow globe world.

Dedicated workers were up early to clear paths at the equine unit on Reedy Creek Road.
