Snow

Woke up this morning to a fairly magnificent snow fall. It was cloudy outside my window and I was sad because I figured it was one more cold and cloudy day. But then I realized it was not rain that was falling, it was snow. LOTS AND LOTS of snow. An hour later, when I walked out of my building, I was surprised by how bright everything was. Since it was still early and the snow was fresh, everything was covered in a beautiful glowing white layer. And while, of course, I was complaining about how cold it was and how I was probably going to fall while trying to get to class, I could not help but think about how beautiful the snow was, and how it actually wasn't that bad.

But now, its sunny outside, the snow has started to melt, the machines have pushed snow somewhere between the street and the sidewalk (yes, there isn't much room there.) And the pretty snow has turned into dirty slush.
