If we didn't have to get out in the cold weather and do our hard work, then home wouldn't seem near so comfy... ;-)
And also-- the snow was quite neat looking today: it was round and bounced when it hit the ground. As I was waiting for the bus, I watched it fall in little, super light balls the size of tapioca, and I looked around and I thought I was wrapped inside a FedEx box with packing styrofoam. Cool.
I agree. It was a weird snow. I thought it looked like movie set snow. Or, when we lived in Miami, fake snow fell from the Mall ceilings to get people, I suppose, in the Holiday mood. It reminded me of the Dolphin Mall snow.
Crack me up!!! I love learning new weather words, and I guess that (like the famous Innuit story) now I live in B-Lo I need a greater repetoire of snow language. Hilarious. However, I actually looked up a couple of websites on grauple (yes, some geeks somewhere [losers!!!, right?] are discussing what grauple actually is), and I'm still not convinced that's what we had-- as some webistes describe grauple as hard since it's got ice on the outside of the round globules. What we had yeserday had no ice-- it was absolutley soft and light like styrofoam. Maybe B-Lo needs even MORE words for these subtleties than we currently have... Maybe syro-grauple? sno-rauple?
in my long, sordid history with grauple i've found it to be hard on the outside soft on the inside, with a resulting lightness unlike solid hail. but who knows... i just like the word.
