So.. its winter... or at least it looked that way for a few days. The snow just randomly decided to come down.. and it came on fast and strong! We decided to go play in it after it had pretty much covered everything already.
The snow stuck around for almost a week.. but at this point its getting a bit warmer and pretty has pretty much all melted... the last few days everything has just been covered in horrible slush. And everything is pretty much back to normal...... but for those few days there was snow..... it was weird.
As soon as the snow it... of course the roads were pretty covered..... and the usually really fast and crazy driving...... REALLY slowed down.... it also became very hard to get a taxi. The cars were the easiest thing to notice....but when you really looked around.. EVERYTHING seemed to be going slower. Everyone just seemed more relaxed and less in a hurry. The kids even seemed a bit calmer in class..... its almost like everyone went into some sort of hibernation mode or something. It will be interesting to see if that keeps up when the actual winter hits in a few weeks or so.
"its almost like everyone went into some sort of hibernation mode or something" Sounds like Cola when it snows. Except for the mad provisions rush beforehand.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see a new post. Have to say it... it's a mom thing: "Don't go out without your gloves. Wear your boots." And you know what? I wouldn't be a bad idea to stock some provisions. Truly. That's not just a mom thing.
ReplyDeleteAh motherly advice, "...and make sure to aim for the head when flinging those snowballs.... pack them with a little gravel and ice for that extra sting..."
ReplyDeleteRemember, mother always says "add some curve to your throw, that way if you hit them on the back of the head there is a good chance the snow will spiral down into the collar and down their back for maximum discomfort!"
Ah, mother always had the best advice!
Now that is some good motherly advice!... Its very very cold here... so the snow doesn't really form into good snow balls, just kinda falls apart. You have to really work to get a good one. Though there are some nice pieces of ice that get scrapped up off the road!
