I'm dreaming of a white...

For those of you who don't live in the New York Metro area (and for those who care at all about this area), we had our first snow today. All of two inches. It was very nice to wake up to a white wonderland, seeing the flakes slowly settle to the ground and also seeing the branches with tufts of white. I woke up excited that it snowed too.

I haven't been this excited about snow since I was in school. Wait, I'm still in school. I meant to say that I haven't been this excited since I was a child and in school. More importantly, I didn't wake up and think: "Oh no! Now, I have to shovel the snow out of the driveway and off my car before I drive to work on the treacherous roads."

Maybe I'm just not made for work. *grin* Ok, maybe I'm not the only one. As much as I love the colder weather, I heartily despise the drivers who all become incapable of driving in this weather. I wonder if I can find a job that lets me telecommute on bad weather days when I graduate.

I am a tiny bit disappointed, since I just had my bicycle repaired and I was hoping for another warm break in the weather to test it. Ah well, spring will be here soon enough I suppose. Meanwhile, I wonder if I should fit the rims with mountain bike tires and see how well it handles in the snow. Nah, the aforementioned drivers may find me too tempting of a target.

Time to get prepped for watching football.
