snow!
It hasn't stopped snowing since early yesterday morning, big, fat flakes coming down with purpose. On a mission to bury my city in banks of choking white.

Within seconds of being outside you're covered in snow; it clings to your jacket and your pants, to your eyelashes, it coats your hair, and dusts your cheeks, quite effectively blending you into the white and gray landscape. It's not long before your cheeks and hands are burning with cold yet you're loath to go inside. There's something about standing out there in the icy, eerie calm that's really soothing; the world has been muffled and shrouded in a blanket of white, now it's just you, the snow, and the wind. Down the street you hear branches snap under the weight of winter, over your head ice-caked wires creak in the wind and for a while you forget about the cold.

	They say it's going to snow like that here this week. I wouldn't mind, actually. It's ages since we had a good snowfall! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	this snow is crazy. they said we'd have 1 to 4 inches ... except that we have 12 (and it's still snowing!) so I guess that tells you not to listen to weathermen. it's so beautiful, though. the snow's all sparkly like tiny frozen diamonds, and they're big so you can see the individual flakes. i love it! :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like here, just with a lot less snow--and school is still in session. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm addicted to your words....for a moment I was taken back in time, walking the whitewashed streets in silence. Endlessly dreaming of a different place to be as winter's chill ran its fingers across my cheek. The creaking soon drawing my gaze above only to catch sight of falling snow once again. So many days I hated the destitute of winter, and now it's what I long for. Thank you for helping me remember. I would love to add you to my friends list, what do you think? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	My journal is quiet boring to be honest. Written words were only inspired by what I read of you. Gladly you are added, but forgive the lackadaisical humdrum of life which I lead. Besides, I too have gray eyes. ~.^ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
