Pardon me for a moment while I indulge in a yearly ritual:

[letterblade]

SNOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW snow snow snow snow snow WHEEEE snow snow YAY snow snow ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

It started while I was driving! One flake to the windshield, and I'm all like, dude, was that what I thought it was? And then a few more, and I'm all like, squeeeeeee! And then we started geting that beautiful, beautiful effect--esp. on the new-paved parts of 128--where the fine snowfall on the road gets whipped up by the wind of the cars so there are these little white clouds shifting back and forth on the asphalt. And, and, SNOW snow snow SNOW SNOW (snow) snow? snow! SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW {snoooooooooow} SNOW MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS SNOW!!

*bounces madly* If I had a tail right now? It would be doing the Millie thing. Whirrrrrrrrr!

i think we might be getting hail in davis - or at least when i last went out that's what it looked and felt like. really tiny hail. so surreal!

I think it's just extra-hard snow. Y'know, the kind that looks like tiny sugar pellets. I often see that coming down early in autumn or late in spring, when it's warm.

ahhh, okay. didn't know snow did that! weird snow.

(of course, i didn't know snow could have thunder either, but last winter we got that)

Snow does a lot of things. XD

And I knew in theory that could happen, but I must have missed it--that sounds super-cool!

It's awfully pretty, isn't it?

Enjoy it! I really enjoyed snow until I bought a #($*&#$ house and no longer had landlords to shovel for me. :)

I am less enthusiastic about this.

djala was buzzing around like a hummingbird on crack because I think the "I've never seen this before" instinct was overriding the "need to stay warm" instinct. For once I'm reining her in ... she really needs to stay inside an anchor or juxtapose me when it's this cold.

What's going to happen to me when it's really cold I'm trying not to think about.
