First sign of Winter - 5:29 PM
Snow chanced upon East Lansing TODAY! I remember it snowed the day before Thanksgiving in 2004, and it greeted us a week earlier my 2nd year in the US. Cool stuff.If you are jealous cos you REALLY want to experience the snow and all that, DON'T. Cos I can tell you that its NO fun trudging your weary body wrapped up in a thick jacket, woolen hat, gloves and boots in the snow. (Preparation to step outta the house is such a chore). Sometimes, it gets so cold its not even funny. Your face gets this piercing feeling and your hands become hard. Not forgetting the ears (my ears are the most sensitive) that feel extremely raw.
With the snow, it can only mean one thing. NO la, not Santa Claus and his reindeer larh...think FLIGHT DELAYS. oh gawd. Considering my horrible track record with plane rides, all I can do is pray for next week when I leave for Washington DC. Hello? Did the snow angels hear me?
