Who would have thought my town would actually get another chance to see snow? And in large quantities too. When I woke up this morning I thought I had landed in Paradise (well, my paradise anyway
) Snow everywhere, covering cars, the road, the trees. Everything white and shiny! And it wasn`t your average snowflake here and there but snow, real snow, fluffy and cold, white, beautiful, squeaky under your shoes! I couldn`t be happier!
The minute I went out, I felt like I had crossed into a different century. Snow was knee high, with a small path carved by the dozens of people that had dared venture outside before me, hardly any cars on the road, people walking in the middle of the road since the sidewalk was covered in mountain of snow! Silence all around, with only the sound of your feet crushing the snow underneath you and your soft breath forming vapors as you let out the air in your lungs. Feeling the blood rush through your veins as you made your way through the snow and tensed the muscles of your legs to get across a pile of snow... How can you not love this?
This Christmas present came in a bit late. But I don`t mind. At least I got what I wanted. The snow that was rightfully due and then some

Winter finally came! Let It Snow!!!
