Students are planning to host a large snowball fight at 2 p.m. today in Central Park.

A Facebook event advertising the snowball fight has more than 350 people saying they are attending. Those with last names starting with A-M should wear red while those with last names starting with N-Z should wear black so the teams may face off.

The snowball fight will begin at 2:05 p.m.
