Well folks, it's snowing. And I don't mean a random flurry. It is snowing like CRAZY out there right now. I love snow! It just makes me feel all warm and cozy inside and feel like it's really winter (even though it is not). I mean, if it's going to be 30 degrees, it might as well be snowing. I HATE the cold- but I LOVE the snow!!
I took a few pictures from my window to show you what it's like. I think it's pretty unusual to get this kind of snow this early. We rarely have snow even in December here, and I don't remember a time that it snowed before Thanksgiving (though I'm sure that there is one). This is in stark contrast to when I lived in State College. My first year there we got snow in October (the poor kids had to trick-or-treat in it) and we really didn't see the grass until mid March. That was rough. It snowed (even if only a flurry) EVERY day there that year. I self-diagnosed myself with Seasonal Affective Disorder. It was depressing to see gray snow and gray skies every day.
But, then I moved back to York and I remembered how little snow we actually get here. I really grew to miss the snowy life that State College had given me. There's just something fun about being in on the couch with a blanket (or fireplace, if you have one, which I do not) looking out the window at a winter wonderland. Like I said before, it makes the cold worthwhile. I still don't really like snow sports or playing in the snow- I just like to look at it... and hope for a snow day from work.
