Today I woke up to a world blanketed with white. Snow! Okay, yeah not such a big deal now, after all the weather hitting sub polar temperatures and the continuous snow that's been floating down upon us. However, this was serious snow. Like, the usual white-Christmas snow that's typical of winter.
So then I went outside. And I was happy, because it was actually not cold at all. That's what I love about this kind of snow, all the moisture in the air has to surrender its heat to get cold enough to turn into snow, so it's actually sort of warm.
Anyways, next thing I knew I was on my bum on my driveway. The snow had sneakily hid away the layer of ice that was coating the pavement. Yay, fun. Trust me, it is always best to land on your butt when you're falling. That's what bums are for. I once had the misfortune of landing on my arm. Not good. Not good at all. Broken arm.
So yeah. I'm kind of used to falling on my bum and just sitting there for a second or two, blinking or laughing at myself. This was first thing in the morning anyways, so I just shook my head bemusedly then got myself up and wacked my clothes a few times to get the snow off and went on my merry way.
It's actually warm today. 2 degrees C. Yes, that's warm! Oh, the wonders of relativity.
