First Snow

It's snowing! Much earlier than last year! It's certainly not going to stick, with the mercury hovering around a balmy zero degrees, but it's somehow very uplifting all the same.

Back home, snow frequently meant no school, since the school heating system couldn't handle the cold, and the busses couldn't navigate the twisty rural roads. I guess there's a Pavlovian connection deep in my mental wiring between the sight of snowfall and a pending fun day off playing outside. Why don't we play anymore?
