It was raining this morning as I walked to the university (S and I missed the bus by about three seconds). Big, fat drops that filled the air and seemed to fall in slow motion defying the wind (5-10 knots gusting to 15, but I bet it was a clear 15 on the water without the buildings slowing and confusing things). It was cold and S complained that it should be snowing instead of raining at this temperture. And then while was I doing my German Exam (It's done yay!!!!!! *dances around and starts singing "O Tannenbaum" because it's the only song she has the words for in German, except maybe some German Punk lying around in her iTunes*) it turned into snow. Vigourous, large flakes descending with speed as if they were trying to make up for the sloth of their liquid brothers. The wind has also picked up quite a bit.
And the snow is staying on the ground. At first it was just piling up to melt together as slush on the sidewalks and wet ground, but now there's a lumpy damp white carpet covering our backyard. And I'm inside and (mostly) dry watching the snow with pleasure before starting (yet another) knitting project.
The rest of my weekend was as equally enjoyable as the first half and perhaps a post will be made about the good things that happened later, but for now I've got snow and knitting and a new episode of Torchwood calling my name.
And so I bid you a snowy Aufwiedersehen!
