I was a little worried when I woke up as the snow that was falling at the time was making pelting sounds as it hit the ground that reminded me more of ice pellets than flakes. Thankfully, by the time we got to the car an hour and a half later, the flakes were fluffier and had accumulated over an inch. Chloe was again happy enough to do a couple of little dances at the sight.
I wore my snow sweater today as encouragement and support for my favorite type of precipitation even though my classroom has been warm enough that I recently switched back to wearing Hawaiian shirts (which make an interesting fashion choice when I wear my parka over them). It seemed to help as the snow continued sporadically throughout the day.
I did not make last year's mistake by not shovelling this first (well, second) snowfall. I had a solid couple of inches of hardened ice coating my driveway all last winter. To avoid that, I went out and got in my steps. I also seem to have twisted my ankle and formed a small blister in the process, but such are prices that I gladly pay for having snow.
