We had our first look at some snow on Saturday night - fleeting as it was. We were having a doozy of a rain storm that decided at one 
point it was going to become snow, then after only a couple hours of snowy slushy stuff, changed back to rain. We were at a dinner party and watched from the windows as it blew like crazy outside, fat, white flakes flying in every direction.
I have to say I love a good snowstorm. Once its over I'm happy to have every trace of it completely disappear within about 48 hours, but the initial wonder of it is as real today as it was when I was a child. I love the way it transforms the world into a completely different place and makes us all step back for a few minutes and catch our breath. And I love the way it makes us curl up on our couches and just sit it out instead of running around doing our usual busy stuff out there in the world. (Unless of course if I happen to be on ambulance duty, but that's another topic for another time!)
There is something quite wonderful about snow during the holidays and since I am, for the most part, ready for Christmas, I say "Bring it on!". Just don't leave it here too long....

This made me smile. I, too, saw the first snowfall on Saturday, but in the morning, and in Georgia!
The grandgirls and I were so excited! I'm like a kid when it snows, and I guess it's even more exciting when it snows in the south, because it doesn't do it often, and it doesn't stay long either! Still, while it remains, it thrills me.
