And what to my wondering eyes did appear? But a city full of snow, and eight tiny reindeer! I am such a child at the first snow of the year. I will miss this horribly. I despise the snow after it's been on the ground a few days and gets disgustingly dirty, but it's this moment, when the snow first falls, that makes me realize how beautiful nature can be when it so wishes.

All those Floridian years when I was little are screaming to run and build a snowman. I will refrain though, as building a snowman by yourself in no where near as much fun.
