SNOW

I can't decided if I love or hate the crystallized precipitation. Don't get me wrong, the white blanket of freshly fallen snow is enchanting, can will inevitably put you in the Christmas spirit as you catch yourself humming "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.." But when the white turns to gray slush, and the frigid wetness seeps into your shoes, your pants, your gloves and your coat, I begin chanting a different phrase, "Bah humbug!"
But living in this western state I knew this white stuff was coming sooner or later. ( though at times I was praying for later.. MUCH later!!)
Since I haven't lived in a snowy place for so long, it has been enjoyable to re-experience it, not to mention watching my Hawaiian roommate experience it for the first time!! In those moments when she is frolicking in the snow in bare feet, just to run back inside claiming her toes are Popsicles, you can't help but smile.
I'm just afraid the snow is going to get REALLY old, REALLY fast!!!!!
