I think the biggest problem I have with snow is the fact that I can't play in it.
Like today:
Oh look, it snowed!
... Too bad, I have to brush all of it off the car, crawl along at 2/3 the speed limit, and try and make it to school in 4 minutes.
Yeah, not happening.
I'm rather proud of myself, though, given the fact that I slept in, for one, and then took a shower, ran out of the house with my hair still wet and my jacket unzipped, wearing sneakers, walked across an unshoveled sidewalk, brushed the snow off the car, and still didn't freeze. I feel like a tough girl now. My Bay Area weather-pansy-ness has worn off (maybe?).
I'm still sad we never get to see snowflakes here, though. I wonder what makes there be snowflakes in one kind of snow and not in another? Here, I never see any. That one time my family's car broke down in Tahoe after skiing, I remember looking at all the snowflakes that were sticking to the window and being thoroughly entertained.
Last night me and the Husband went for a drive through the rich people part of town to look at the lights. This one guy had a whole cascade of giant snowflakes made of Christmas lights hanging over his front door. It was pretty amazing.

I made Ray cut up some of her famous designs for me cause I can't make them. haha
...You woke up late, there was snow outside and you STILL went to class.
Dude you're hardcore.
Wiki says snowflakes happen when cloud droplets freeze and fall as ice all the way to the ground. Snow pellets and other blobular forms of cold white stuff happen when warmer air causes the snowflakes to melt and refreeze.
Snowflake decorations sound like a good idea...
