A thing of the past

This morning began with the anticipation of a snow day. It had the familiar feel of elementary school, flipping on the TV and waiting as the schools scroll through the alphabet under a local newscaster. Only after hearing classes were cancelled did I realize that today is Wednesday. I don't have class on Wednesdays, just work. The realization left me wondering if city employees get snow days. 

It turns out we don't.

Nope, I showered and trudged off to work a mile through the snow while my housemates curled up with coffee on the couch. Okay, true I'm just an intern and I only work until 2:30 and it's not as if I froze to death on my walk, but It's just not fair. All my friends got to stay home. I know I'm being a little melodramatic but who wouldn't be upset to find out snow days are a thing of the past?

  1. Those photos are just beautiful. Winter has so much to offer the eye, even in it's stark and austere way. Thick snow clinging to trees and window ledges, icicles twinkling in the light, and the way fresh snow looks at twilight. Who can resist??

  2. Oh my gosh! How could you be upset with having to walk to work when you got such beautiful photos! One time over break I took my camera on a run with me as motivation, and even though all my photos came out blurry it was so much fun! These are awesome photos Lisa :-)
