I long for snow

It happens to me every year: I long for snow, usually as soon as November starts. Last year it backfired. But since I know now that I will not be able to go away on Christmas this year, I might as well have some snow and the sooner the better. I love when it smells like snow, but I want the real thing: the stuff that will keep me home on a week day, that will put me in a festive spirit, that will make me enjoy both the outside world that will no longer be grey and the inside one that will feel warm and cosy. I long for snow and everything that you enjoy with it: being lazy, wrapping up in a blanket, drinking hot tea, eating hearty food, reading in the living room or in bed wrapped in said warm blanket... I don't know if we are going to have any this year but I certainly hope so.

J'ai hâte qu'il neige itou. Mon nouveau contracteur en déneigement a l'air beaucoup plus professionnel que les précédents, et il est moins cher en plus.

I long for snow also. But only on a day when I can stay at home and not have to battle my way to work on icy roads. Which I'm sure I will be doing very soon. :/

I remember that smell, the sharpness in the air. I hope that you get your wish:-)

I am deprived. I have only seen snow twice, the second time I was driving through Austria...which was last month. It was beautiful.

I grew up in the east bay of California, where we never got snow. So the first time it snowed when I was living in Oregon on my own, I was pretty bewildered. It started snowing while I was on the highway too, scary.

But, usually, I like to get out IN it, and then come home all soar from play and take a hot bath, and then play some vidyagames.
