First snow!

I was Just heading out to finish some last minute grading when what to my wondering ears should sound, but the giggles and screams of dignified adults completely undone by magical white flakes falling from the sky!

Yes, first snowfall! With an added bonus-- thunder and lightning! Since it was dark, flashes across the sky were even more amazing and the white wonderland lit up for a moment.

In the midst of running around like kids dreaming of a snowday tomorrow, we had snowball fights, made a giant snowman (the middle was bigger than the base, so we decided it was American style-- everyone is so skinny and little here!), and snuck into the cafeteria for some lunch trays to try out as sleds.

What unexpected fun!!! Who knows, maybe that dream of a snowday could come true....
Then again, maybe I should just go to bed!

Happy Winter to you all!
