First SNOW!

I don't know how long it has been since we made it to Winter without getting snow a month or more before hand. This year I thought that we might actually have had a chance because the weather was being pretty cooperative. It wasn't getting unbareably cold like it usually does around this time. It has actually been quite warm. There were days in October that I wore shorts because it was that warm outside. Granted I did have to wear a sweatshirt but still. Fall weather is the best. Being able to wear jeans and a sweatshirt and still be comfortable is my favorite. Usually this kind of temperature doesn't last long. Last year if I remember right, I think that by the end of October it was freezing. However, although the weather had been super warm and it looked like we were going to make it to winter before it snowed, that didn't happen. One day in November it decided to snow. It wasn't even a pretty first snow because the minute I walked outside and looked at it, it was basically slush. The grounds of Wartburg were a wet mess. People did have a lot of fun though having snowball fights and making snowmen. There was one guy who was making tons and tons of snowmen who told me he wanted to break his record from last year which was 92 snowmen. That's a crazy amount of snowmen. It hasn't snowed since and the days still aren't too terribly cold. I'm hoping that it will stay this way at least until I am home on winter break. I don't want to walk through the snow to class or have to deal with my car in the snow. So let's pray for the snow and ice to wait until everyone is home safe on break! (:
