Almost as much as I love autumn. I love snow truly, deeply and madly. I do, rather literally, jump the snow. And...
IT'S SNOWING! There's no school and it's SNOWING. And real, real, soft, icy, settling snow that will stay with us throughout the next couple of days!
Snow never used to be anything special. Then I moved back to the UK, away from my chilly heartland of New Jersey, and discovered that there was no snow. For the past five years, I have seen no snow, or only pathetic excuses for it. The only one memorable event of snowiness was that of a day in February a couple of years ago. I was ill. I couldn't go out. BUT NOT TODAY! Today, I shall stride out into the snow, slip on an icy bit of road, fall over and kiss the snow. I shall get appallingly wet and shivery and probably catch a cold. That is what I will do. And it will be good.

But I know loads of people who have NEVER seen snow! They can't imagine it at all.
Trains are down and school's out!

I made a snow angel, though I do believe that it is of the right consistency for snowballs. I went out with a friend living in the village, my younger brother and the friend's younger sister and we all went to a location known simply as 'the downs'. It's series of steep slopes - ideal for sledging. I got seriously wet though. ^ ^

I'll try my hardest to deflect it towards you the next snowstorm we get. Perhaps I could send you some air-mail in a cooler?
