Drew is in seventh heaven! It has been snowing all day - gobs and gobs of white powdery fluff. It looks like a Currier and Ives postcard! All we are missing is the horse drawn sleigh. Drew has longed for such an event. Of course, traffic is a mess, evening events including choir practice have all been cancelled. Lord knows whether tomorrow will be on or off. But Drew is happy.
As for me, I am glad that this morning when I had to drive carpool, there were only two or three flakes at best. I arrived on campus just as the first shrift of snow began covering the ground. I have watched while the bucket scrapers and plows have struggled to keep up, their blinking yellow lights reflecting on the paneled woodwork in the library. Students slipped and slid to classes, final exams, parties (yes, lots of end-of-semester doings). The library, despite the weather, has stayed fairly active with those last minute details of studying and research.
The car is buried out in the parking lot underneath a lamppost, the hour approaching for me to dig it out. I suspect I will have a long time to practice piano tonight. I am most grateful that I was able to find someone to cover the 9 to midnight shift - the evening building supervisor called to say she had fallen in the parking lot and hurt her back. But someone else was happy to pick up the shift, so I won't have to go back out at midnight to lock the place down. Yeah!
As the familiar song goes, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." As long as it doesn't interfere with the holiday plans too much!
