Snow!

While just a few days ago the temperatures here in Charlottesville were hovering in the mid-50's, I woke up yesterday to snow-covered sidewalks and fresh flurries. I love a good snowfall and, with spring just around the corner, my boyfriend and I couldn't let this one go to waste. So off we went, plowing through the white stuff, intent on enjoying our day. Yet come to think of it, we spent our snowy Saturday much like we spend other Saturdays -- we went downtown, enjoyed a couple cups of coffee, watched a movie and went out for a few drinks on the Corner. The only real difference is that somehow the cold weather and the inches of snow underfoot made everything seem like an adventure. En route to the Mudhouse, we walked along relatively empty streets and it felt like we'd gone back in time (at least, until the snowplows hit the road). And on our way home from the bar, we slipped and slid, pushing each other into piles of snow and returned home cold and completely covered. In the midst of it all, I lost a glove, bruised my knee and tracked in some ice. A small price to pay for an awesome snow day.
