Nothing gets a sleepy little kid out of bed quicker than the words, “gee, is that snow?”
OTOH, it also made me wish I had winter tires on my car. My lovely wife generously insisted I take hers instead, as she is home today.
November is often like this in Austria: a nasty cold snap that makes you hope of blizzards and a white Christmas; then it warms up again, Christmas is grey and it doesn’t get good and cold until January.
I think it’s at least ten years since we’ve had any snow here. But then you don’t have to shovel rain.
it snowed here night before last, which i might have missed if i hadn’t been walking home at 2 a.m. and i vaguely debated waking the boy up to be FIRST SNOW FIRST SNOW but i’m glad i didn’t, because it is as you say, very much as if it gets your hopes up for the mere point of smashing them. gray gray gray gray. and then in february, when i am about at the “i’m cold and i can’t take it anymore!” point, it starts snowing.
oh hush, it’s SNOW!!
