First Snow!

I left the house today on my way to class, expecting it to be raining. But as I looked out the window over the kitchen sink, I saw WHITE!

One of the guys in the kitchen told me that it was indeed snowing, but, "just a wet snow."

I told him I had not seen the ACT of snow in years. When I did walk to class, I used an umbrella, as it was heavy like rain. It hit the ground and turned into slush, so the walk was slippery, but the cars were covered in white.

I hardly felt the cold, I was so pleased!

According to my science-buddy Heather, the snow should only get better. "This is early snow," she told me. While everyone insists it doesn't snow often here, if it continues to get cold and "rain", then I'll be satisifed.

I feel like a kid again!

While I do often realize now why Dad wanted to get out of the cold weather and into the sun, I also now remember when I didn't mind the cold gloom of Ohio. Sometimes you just don't notice it.
