Even though the bad weather forced officials to cut the ceremony short, it was a "snow-mencement" to remember.

A little snow couldn't stop these college students from celebrating their graduation.

A surprise snowstorm made things pretty chilly at the spring commencement ceremony for the University of Colorado Boulder on Thursday. Some grads even accessorized their caps and gowns with ski goggles, snow boots and onesies.

Colorado is no stranger to snow, and white fluff in May isn't unheard of.

With 20,000 people there to celebrate the graduation, it made for an epic snowball fight.

Even though the bad weather forced officials to cut the ceremony short, it was a "snow-mencement" to remember.
