(Wannabe) Winter Wonderland

[auntiemeesh]

It's snowing! Snowing with real snow (or at least heavy wet slushy stuff that looks like real snow until you touch it and see that it's just thick white water). It's done a very effective job of thoroughly covering the ground and roads, making the drive home from work a little more stressful than I was anticipating (remember I only got my license this summer - I've never driven in snow or slush or ice before). I made it safely home though and now I can sit back and enjoy the snowy show. Some reports state that we could get anywhere from 2 to 6 inches, but I'm taking heart over the fact that it's only just barely freezing and so it should all melt away as soon as it stops actually snowing. lyda_pearl tells me that it's a saying around here, though that if there's a snow accumulation before Halloween, then there will be snow cover by Thanksgiving, which won't melt until spring. It could be an interesting winter. *grins*
