Snow is Dangerous

So I went out to eat for my Dad's birthday and I picked up some warmer clothes and switched monitors(thats another story). I was walking back from the Kuyper lot to my dorm and I was almost to the pond. Of course its cold and the wind is blowing and I hear this cracking noise. I stop and just as I turn my head about five feet from an eight foot limb falls about 15 feet out of a pine tree. It was close and scared the crap outta me cuz I stopped and saw it happen. My luck with tress lately has been amiss.
