White stuff, falling from the sky! *glees* We haven't had a lot of that lately, and I definitely prefer snow to the -25 C we had yesterday. Yes, it's warmer when it snows, go figure.
alas, I think our snow from Saturday finally melted. took a while, it wanted to linger.
It's supposed to warm up to above freezing and rain tonight. So far, it's at 34F and holding so appearantly "above freezing" is more a technicality than an actuality.
Well, in Australia, we don't get snow except in the depths of winter and in the mountains. So the concept of "too cold to snow" tends to be a weird one. *grins* I'm used to it now, the comment was for the benefit of my family, who read this.
It was snowing when I woke up, but gently, and now we have GIANT FLAKES OF DOOM!
I was planning on wearing a skirt and boots today too. Which... I will still do, but the black boots and skirt which are warmer except I was saving those for a party I'm going to.
Oh well, guess I have to buy a new dress. Life is hard, woe.
This part of Canada gets dry past -15C, meaning no moisture in the air. Also why skin cracks so horribly and lungs can "catch" when breathing in the cold air. The closer to 0C, the more snow you'll get.
Which is why I don't care if the temperature wants to hover at -10C. Best of both worlds - no snow to shovel and not too cold to be outside. :)
