it snowed! for about 1/2 an hour it swirled in big fat flakes the size of my eye, turning the street white in 15 minutes. it finally slowed and now it's almost stoppped: if it turns to rain, it will wash away the snow fairies by morning, but standing by the lamppost tonight, i felt like i was waiting for mr. tumnus.
[update: i forgot to mention that i've never heard frogs sing in the snow before, but you could clearly hear their chorus below the steady patter of snow on my hood.]

gl, I'm envious of your snow -- that is one thing I miss about the northern climes. But it doesn't snow a whole lot there, does it? It's supposed to be 85 degrees here today. Nice, but the summer will be ugh.
