Buffalo saw it’s first real snow of the season today, which was both exciting and terrifying for me.
I love snow. Love. It. I’m a winter girl (except for the lack of sunlight thing); I love how the crisp air makes my cheeks feel. I love layering in sweaters, and other warm, cozy clothes; the postcard picture look the city has from the snow. And snow days, I can’t forget the snow days.
This morning I was a little apprehensive about driving. I hadn’t driven in snow since 1997, I wasn’t sure how our car would handle in it, but it all went well. The biggest annoyance is that the first snow of the season makes drivers act like morons (more than usual) for the first few days after the first snow. It’s something I’ve never understood, most everyone who lives here grew up here and it’s not like snow comes as a surprise every winter. But for some reason or another they’re all “OH MY GOD IT’S SNOWING!!! How DO I drive in it???” Makes me crazy.
I made it through the first snow, and I say BRING IT ON!!
Now that we’ve got heat in our place for the first time, the thought of winter bearing down on Baltimore this year doesn’t strike fear in my heart. But Buffalo… isn’t there frostbite danger or something? :)
