I woke up this morning without a family. At first, I thought maybe they'd ran to the store to get something or other for breakfast. I stumbled from my room, tripped down the stairs, and went to the front window.
Um, no store. They were outside shoveling/attacking the eight.5 inches of snow we'd received throughout the night. :]
Of course, it's a whole day early for me to even consider the possibility of a snow day, and the inclement conditions have all of us trapped within the confines of our own homes for the duration of the day, but I'm still excited.
It's so pretty. Having grown up surrounded by ridiculous snowfalls, you'd think that I would be desensitized to its beauty. But I'm not. I still love the purity and glossy shimmer of a brand new snowfall.
We'll be having blizzard-esque weather for the rest of the day, and throughout the night the snowplows will come through and trap us all in our driveways. The main roads will be cleared and covered in salt to kill the ice, and anyone who doesn't have perfect traction on their tires is doomed to drive 15 mph under the speed limit [naturally, almost all students have awful tire traction... Ought to be a fun ride to school tomorrow].
Mmm. Michigan weather. To all of you who live in and around my home state, good luck getting out of your driveway tomorrow morning. :]

We've got snow here too, its stuck to my windows so I can't see how bad it is. Supposedly (as my friend May has pointed out) we are supposed to have blizzard conditions all day as well.
Pity it IS a day too early. I could have done so much with Monday off. :(
I love snow, it just is too cold for me. Brrr.
