Anyway, we've had our first real winter storm a few days ago. At first, it was just bloody cold. There's a creek just outside our apartment, and we've been watching it for a while, wondering when it would freeze. Monday I think, Matt left for work, then came running back in shouting "It finally froze!" We got pictures, but the night pix Matt took of the fountain turned out the best. It looks surreal!
Finally, the clouds came back, and with them came the snow. I was up extra early that morning, and I like to look out my window (sort of like math class, you know), when I noticed in the pre-morning dark that there was a lightness not usual to the ivy planter outside my window. Snow! I took some pix, just in case it melted, just to prove it did snow. I didn't have to worry. By that afternoon, there was a good 4 inches, and it's still snowing off and on.
For Matt, it was only the second time he's ever seen it snowing (the first time was last month), and it surprised me when he confessed it was also his first time actually walking in snow (the flurries last month totally don't count) and he was worried about driving in it. But he did good, no accidents, only a little slippery in the parking lot.
His work closed early, so he came home eager to play in the snow. He was like a kid!
We got into a snowball fight.
Then we managed to scrap enough snow together in our little planter to make a miniature snowman we named Doc Brown, because the pine needles I stuck as hair look like Doc of Back to the Future.
It's warming up now, a whoping 38 degrees, just enough to make everything slushy. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Doc Brown says: "Stay warm and well wishes to all my friends!"
