All this while in movies where you could just imagine how it is to snow.
The experience was different if you could say exhilarating ....
While coming to US it would have been in one of my wishlists....
Though with no sign in Nov or Dec, when H and Y were saying abt how it would be lovely to have white x'mas......I thought it would be one of the things I would not be destined to see much less feel it....
Of course there have been many false alarms and that kinda had me feeling that obviously i would not be able to see it.
It all started yesterday..By the looks of it, it was gloomy and looked like it would rain terribly...
But the had put a lot of salt in the parking lot...
Thats when Y mentioned that they do that when ever there is an impending snow forecast..I was like let it atleast snow...else all this is just false preparation...
But the temp was dipping and we were on our way back from lunch...when wisps of snow was falling...
I thought it was raindroplets falling as they were few and far between and b4 touching the car glass it would be water...
So i thought that it was just some raindrops
Thats when they said.."Looks like Tina will be able to see some snow"
I was like they call this water snow...
It was so tiny that it looked more like dandruff( for the want of a better word)
With pictures of what snow looked like in my science class text books i was surely on the verge of disappointment when Y mentioned that internally snow flake did look like that ..
But it looked gloomy and it really did look like there would be a thundershower...
One we got back to the office and into our cubes, it was as good as being locked somewhere..
Thats when I saw ppl gathering near the windows...it looked like heavy rainfall but it was actually snowing those tiny wisps.
Thought of going downstairs in the open to see or rather feel the snow..but we had a meeting..
The conference room is at the edge of the floor where except for the entrance all other sides are glass windowed.. So as the meeting progressed it was good to see snow falling with snow almost as big as hailstones....it was nice though it did melt by the time it reached the ground.
For quite some time all of us were looking at the snow...
By the time the meeting was over the snow was over and the ground looked more like it had rained....
On my way back it did not snow at all and that was the last forecast for the day.. I was like ohh no ...
Today I almost overslept..(i did actually) and groggily when I got up and saw outside it was white...Just like in Home Alone :D.. Cars were covered and evergreens also.. I was wide awake before convincing myself that it was after all now a dream. On my way to work slowly treading the ground...as you could have a good slippery fall on the snow esp when my sport shoes did not have any grip :(
It was sunny and all the white snow though just a cm layer... It was amazing view and for once in my life I regretted that I do not have a camera...Phone camera is real blurred.
Neways hunted up the internet for equivalent pictures so that you could also see what I saw.. Hopefully I could fill you in with real pictures.
As I was walking the snow layer used to crumble. It was at the station that temptation got better of me. Removed by hand from the glove and touched snow.. It just crumbled n it was cold you know. But it was so nice and flaky... And so guys n gals First Snow is here ....
I am not disappointed though I still have to stand while the snow is falling just like in movies :D
Felt like sharing the feeling with all of you esp since ppl I called up to tell were not around... :D
So now i guess it is one of the wishlist items which has been checked (as in a tick mark)..........
Here to more items to be ticked ............
Cheers,
Tina :)
