SNOW!

 Its not snowing right now, but its supposed to tonight.I always get super-excited when it starts to snow because grew up in Guatemala and San Salvador (one year in the U.S) and it never snowed there. I try once a year when it snows to go out barefoot and see how long i can walk. Snow is awesome for many reasons.

-You know when you see fresh snow that lays untouched and then you get the urge to go and run around on it, so you can be the first one to change it. That feeling is caused by snow, albeit the feeling of sadness after you've trampled all the snow is also caused by snow.

-Provided that there is enough snow, you can make an igloo! Igloos are surprisingly warm (compared to the temperature outside) and they make a good hidey-hole.And it's a really cool thing to be able to say you did.

 
(that was a me sticking my head out of its window)

-Sometimes you get school or work off. Or a 2-hours delay. If you are not in school anymore please try to remember the sudden glee you felt in the morning when you found out that there would be no school  or that you could sleep in for another hour.

-Snowball fights. What could be more pleasurable than throwing globs of semi-frozen water at people? Almost nothing. Did you know the Boston massacre was started with a snowball fight(ok, so there may have been a rock in the snowball but still). That's how intense this is.

Skiing & Snowboarding- No, i dont snowboard, but i would like to.It seems like you can do more tricks while snowboarding. Once i saw a snowboarder wipe out up a tree. At the time i found it highly amusing  (The snowboarder was ok). I barely ever wipe out because i'm usually so scared that i go reaally slowly down a hill. The few times i do wipe out are when I'm feeling confident and ready to have fun.

Anyways it hasn't started snowing yet and im kind of glad because I'm a nerd and i have exams i want to be done with tomorrow. What do you guys like about snow?

UPDATE- We did end up getting snow and school was canceled.
