first snow

[egypturnash]

After we crawled out of bed, we decided to go out for some pastries. Then we looked outside.

It's snowing.

Big poofy ice-crystals drifting down from the sky.

We went out anyway. It wasn't too cold, really. Just... lightly snowing. I've never been snowed on before.

I tried to catch some of in my hand. It didn't stay long enough for me to look at it. I tried catching it in my mouth. I felt kinda stupid doing this.

This is the first time I've been snowed on. Obviously, it won't be the last. It's kinda pretty but I kinda miss California and New Orleans already.

You'll be sick turquoise of it by mid-January, trust me. :D

What is this? Everyone in the northeast US is talking about snow, and meanwhile I'm up here in Quebec and it was sunny and warm today! Did we just switch magnetic poles or something?

It's amazing ... I grew up with heavy, filthy snow every winter, the streets covered with slushy ice, the skies a uniform slate-gray. The first time I experienced bright sun and T-shirt weather in December was when I was 11, and I remember being absolutely flabbergasted. I never really fully got used to it, even after a decade and a half ...
