It snows!!! (Part B)

Just had to get the initial excitement out with the photo...

I am still a prairie girl at heart, and I have been waiting for the snow. There were some doubters out there, but I knew it was coming... Many a morning I have woken up thinking it may have snowed, but looked out my window to see only grey. When I awoke this morning and heard faint ticking on my window, I thought it best not to bother looking...the snow pessimists had gotten to me... "It's Vancouver, it doesn't snow downtown..." I rolled over and slapped on the radio to listen to the CBC in bed, as I do most weekend mornings. When the news came on, the man said, "The snow that has been falling on the Lower Mainland has started sticking downtown." I instantly popped up and stuck my head through the curtains, and all saw was white...

Then like a crazy person, I yelled, "IT SNOWS!!!! wheeeee!!!!!!!!!"

It was snowing little pebbles when I first got up, and now huge fluffy flakes are coming down. I'm so glad I bought winter boots last weekend--I haven't had any in years, but always wish I do when it does this, so I can go tromp around without getting soggy (plus they're plaid and cute).

Snow days are for staying close to home, listening to the CBC, making tea, reading, walking around all bundled up, and if you're really lucky, snuggling up with someone you like and watching it fall.

It's really coming down now... Hello December, it's going to be a great day.
