Snowfall

Dear gods is snow pretty. I'm sure that if I lived somewhere this happened regularly I would feel differently, but getting one good snowfall a decade if we're lucky is a good way to keep the magic alive. Even when you make one teeny lurch in said snow, reach out to touch the car and have the ice slice into your knuckle before you even realize what the hell happened.

Still pretty.


It stopped snowing hours ago, but before it did, I went out and walked down the parking lot a bit. Not far, because I didn't want to be the asshole who faceplanted and needed to get to the ER for whatever reason. But I did go and try to catch snowflakes on my tongue and enjoy the big fat flakes as they flew through the air. I think my second favorite thing about snow (the first is that it exists and is obviously magic) is that the locals, and you will always find the locals when it snows, drift outside and are just transfixed by the sheer wonder of it all. Our neighbors had their dogs out and were videoing one of them trying to catch snow on his tongue and then they made a small snow person and the dog in the vest was just so interested and it was so cute. I missed Angel like mad because the last time we got the briefest of flurries, she and I went for a relatively long walk in it, but I'm also glad I didn't have to try and get her to go out in this because gray lady Angel (as Mums took to calling her) would not have enjoyed this nonsense. But younger Angel would've dragged me out as often as I was drawn to the doors to peek outside.


I probably spent far too much time online and watching the news coverage but again, it's rare. And I did draw the line at the B crew who are just painful to watch in general. Plus, I got sleepy around 4 so I went and dozed while the snow fell and it was just very, very nice. With the moon out, everything is glowing and I love it.


And yes, the city pretty much shut down. I don't know if any of the bridges between here... no. Wait. The tiniest bridge between here and work closed, so there was that. And if Mums and I'd been inclined to go down Bees Ferry, that was also closed off. Wonder what tomorrow (today) will be like.

Sleepy again. Probably because less than four hours is probably not quite enough to work with.
