Today was a fantastic day. Around 8:30 or 8:45 am, my coworker Chris and I were sitting and talking in my office, and he said "wait, what are those big raindrops...is it snowing??" Which apparently is very unusual for late October here. And over the course of the morning, I saw the snow come in, and it was just GORGEOUS. The flakes got bigger and more distinct. At first the snow wasn't sticking, but then a while later, we got what you see in this picture.
Even taking those pictures was funny. I had about 10 minutes in between meetings and I stole a minute to take pictures with Blackberry out my office window. I could hear people talking about me in the cubicle areas just outside the office ("oh, just give her til February, she'll hate this" "can you believe she's taking pictures?" "hey anita, is this your first snow?") well, no, it's not my first snow, but it is my first snow here. and somehow snow here feels different than when I lived in NYC and had to suffer through it cold and hungry at times as a student. or miserably as I worked for the Mayor and had to go from place to place in the city with no respite.
Plus, snow is just plain more romantic now :)
