All that Snow

It has been snowing for more than 12 hours now, and God is answering taira and my prayers. The snow is settling on the ground finally.

Walking back from the library at 2am in the morning, with snowfall and darkness as my companion, Plattsburgh seems magical. I have always been very fond of snow, but now i am used to snowfall. Nevertheless, when a perfect crystal structure settles on my jacket and i closely examine it, it still makes me marvel at what a miracle nature is. That tiny tiny piece of crystal of snow is such a marvelous structure. Perfect, almost as if someone has created it with his utmost attention.

I love it when there is legit snow on the ground. It looks so beautiful. I have witnessed snow way before i experienced winter in USA. Two hours in Mount Titlis in Switzerland. However, it does not compare to living with snow, and i guess the experience in Plattsburgh is gorgeous. It's not like snow in NYC, which is black, muddy and yucky. No. Here the snow is white, pure almost like a spell straight from Harry Potter ( Mind you, a spell casted by Dumbledore :p).

Snow has it's bad sides too. The ground gets extremely slippery. I have avoided falling on my ass five times today. But i blame the shoes. Plus, the hoodies get wet from all that snowfall. It is SNOW which is WATER.

But with snow boots and water-proof jacket, the setting is right from a scene in Mills and Boons. Romantic. Better than Rainfall.

I don't know, snow is just fabulous. It's fresh and clean, has a sense of tranquility in it.

I never complain when it snows. The weather gets a bit warmer, and is not frigid. Plus, the expectation of a snow day and exams getting cancelled makes it even more worthwhile. ;)
