This is my first time, Costa said. She and Levine expressed a desire to go to One Ton Sundae this year, as next year they will not be able to attend because they will be student teaching. I love ice cream.Peanut butter chocolate is my favorite Dairy Bar flavor.

As students approached the front booth before scooping their ice cream, they were handed a Winter Weekend bucket and metal spoon and directed to one of two boats filled with either nut-free ice cream for those with allergies and another with a mix of flavors.Students chosefrom Dairy Bar favorites such as toasted almond amaretto, coffee espresso crunch, black raspberry and banana chocolate chip. As the event wore on, some flavors began to run out, but most attendees were able to scoop up some delicious combinations.

I gotHuskyTracks, coffee espresso crunch, cookie dough and almond,Tiberiosaid. He had stood in line from 11 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. It was a good mix of flavors, but I didnt go for any fruit ones. My favorite flavor from the Dairy Bar has got to be the signatureHuskyTracks, and I was bummed they didnt have the banana chocolate chip flavor.

This years Senior Scoop, You Matter Cake Batter, made with cake batter ice cream, mocha fudge swirl and brownie pieces, debuted for the first time at the event. The flavor was named by Lily DeBlasio and created by BriannaKinnie, Daniel Barry, Benjamin Hood and AnushaVissapragada.

Its my last year here, so I wanted to try it, see what the hypes about,IreoluwatomiwaOpayemi,aneighth-semester molecular and cellular major, said. He hadbeenlined up for One Ton Sundae since 9a.m.with ElyssaAlber, an eighth-semester physiology and neurobiology major, and Tiffany Cheung, a physiology and neurobiology major. I dont know why its outside, its really, really cold, but the rest of its cool. You stand in line, talk with your friends, get some ice cream.

Other Winter Weekend events included Moonlight Breakfast earlier in the week, a ski trip to Butternut Mountain over the weekend and a livestream of the Oscars last night.
