It snowed. Today and yesterday. Only small showers that came in bursts, dropping soft, light flakes that melted the second they touched the grass, but still it was snow. The first snow of the season, it had everyone outside; the kids were wild, running up and down the street and trying to catch snow on their tongues. We even had one group of elementary kids who asked if they could scoop the fine layer of flakes off my car so they could make a snowball (it turned out to be a marble-sized snowball)^___^*
I really don't think there's anything more magical than snow. It may loose its wonder for those who live in really snowy areas, but when you live in the part of the world where it's a rare and much-anticipated occurrence, it's something special. I can't imagine going my entire life and not seeing snow (which makes me glad that, while the South certainly borders on a tropical climate in the summer, it's still considered moderate).
So yeah, that's why I'm gushing about it. It makes me warmer inside than any amount of hot chocolate :D
