reddragdivaThis morning there was SNOW!!! all over the street and the cars. I took pictures and all.
And I went outside and there was SNOW!!! and it was SNOWING!!! On ME!!!
(If I ever get a car in the UK, I'll be buying it first thing in the morning in January to make sure it starts.)
Got to work and told cow-orker about seeing SNOW!!! for the first time at age thirty-six. He of course complained that there was bugger-all snow and this was hardly PROPER snow - really not enough to stick together a proper gravel-laden snowball or go tobogganing more than five inches. Bah. Whinging Poms. I'll stick 'em in a forty-degree Australian February and see if that helps 'em appreciate the wonders of nature. It was thirty-seven degrees in Melbourne yesterday.
(It's an Australian thing. See ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
mircea on the subject too.)

Date: 2003-01-07 03:05 am (UTC)Of course, having been here over three years already, I'm completely blase about snow. Been there, done that, made snowmen and snow angels and thrown snowballs and now I'm over it. Really.
Want SNOW! *jealous*

Date: 2003-01-07 09:22 am (UTC)We've had several feet of snow already this winter. Unfortunately the only pictures I can find from this year were taken outside the actual city, so they got more, but it gives you the general idea;

Aw Bless!
Date: 2003-01-07 03:06 am (UTC)We've had snow since Saturday but when it started afresh last night it didn't stop me and Redhelen spinning round, head skywards, gobs open trying to catch snowflakes in our mouths - cos that's magic you know!
My ickle sports car is rubbish to drive in it tho.

Don't suppose there's any room in your suitcase for a stowaway?

Date: 2003-01-07 03:17 am (UTC)But it has been about fifteen years since I last met any, and quite frankly I'd love to swap climates right now. Bloody Melbourne summers...

Re: I never thought I'd say it,
Date: 2003-01-07 05:58 am (UTC)90% of the time I'm desperate to go back to Toronto, but recently some people on Usenet were discussing snow removal and suddenly I was happier about being here...

Date: 2003-01-07 06:53 am (UTC)Didn't matter, I got to go out and play in it for about an hour before the sun came up and melted it all away. The only thing that really got me was how WET snow is, it just doesn't look that wet in the movies.
We had a little bit of snow yesterday, but nothing stuck. I still glue myself to windows though to enjoy it.

Date: 2003-01-07 06:58 am (UTC)Must be a universal reaction from the depths of our snow deprived youth.
And ignore the boobs who say you'll get sick of it. It's been 10 years (not that we got snow every year) and I still go bonky happy with the stuff falls.
Heck, I still think frost is fascinating.

Date: 2003-01-07 11:55 am (UTC)I spent large chunks of today irritating my co-workers by bouncing in my chair (gas-lift - bounces nicely), waving my arms, big grin on my face, saying "SNOW!!!"

Date: 2003-01-07 10:30 am (UTC)never too late for that kind of thing, I say.
Perhaps *you* can join me for a day of snowangels and hot coco at some point.
What's especially nice is wandering city streets at night when the snow is falling. The city is so quiet at those times, it doesn't even seem real.
so yaaay, snow on you! we'll teach you how to make a proper snowperson yet.

vibe.While doing the Sound of Music tour and salt mines in Salzberg (and, I highly recommend doing both) K and I made complete tits of ourselves in pursuit of
SNOW!
.American college students and Austrians laughed, as they might,
BUT I SAW SNOW, MOTHERFUCKERS!
