The first snowfall of this winter

I have been treating my apartment as my hotel. Why did I say so? I have not really spent enough time at home (just 8 hours to sleep). I have been going home around 9 o'clock at night every weekday and most of the weekends for the past few months. I do miss slobing around the house all day and do nothing. And I finally did. I spent the whole day at home doing whatever I enjoy, but absolutely no work and not even household chore (I did cook a dish of TomYam prawn tho).

Few days ago, I had this Vanessa William's "Save the best for last" tune spining in my head and I was even singing a few lines of this song, "Sometimes the snow comes down in June...". Snow......Snow? I have been waiting for the first snow fall for this cycle of the winter to arrive. Two days ago the temperature dropped down to 23F! I knew it was going to come. And it did. We had our first snow today while I was sitting at home with the heater on. I didn't realize it in the beginning until I heard some sound like rain hitting my window. I had the curtains drawn and saw the snows covering everywhere outside. I checked my record for last year's first snow (from my photo album last year. Note that the picture posted here was taken last year at my old apartment). It came 2 days earlier than this year. Wow, isn't it amazing that 367 days have gone and one complete cycle of the season was completed?

I love snow. Maybe it is because I come from a country without snow. Anyway, I'm really grateful and excited that I am able to experience different climate here. With the mark of the beginning of the winter season, spring will not be far. But before this, maybe a skiing trip should be feasible and of course a white christmas will be coming up next (hopefully)! That's right, every events (annual) will be rolling one by one, like a circle. There's always something to look forward to each day, for you and me!

  2. Glad to read that you are enjoying the first snowfall of the year. Lucky for me we don't receive snow here in San Francisco :). I am definitely not a snow weather type of person...Yet, there will always be something beautiful about a true change of seasons.

  3. I was expecting to be colder today after the snowfall. I didn't even bring with me gloves and scarf. But it's not that cold as I would like to. And the snow's melting today.
    We'll see when is the next snowfall so that the streets will be covered with snow instead of disgusting muddy water!! :)
