Snow, White White Snow

it snowed. what delight it was to wake up and be greeted by white snow covering the roofs and branches of trees outside the window. the tranquility it brought with it momentarily took away the sense of urgency to prepare for the new day. for a while, it felt as it was christmas again.

the first flakes came yesterday. but i missed it by a mere five minutes because i was in the lecture theatre. when lecture ended, there were not even traces of the elusive snow anywhere. seniors said it only snows lightly in cambridge, so i thought i would be pleased enough to just see fallen snow. moreover, the weather forecast says it usually snows in the middle of the night. by the time it's morning, the snow would probably have melted.

so it was a pleasant surprise to see white magdalene:-

and low and behold, IT IS SNOWING RIGHT NOW! i see snowflakes from heaven from my window!

haha, i sounded like a 3-year old getting excited over possibly the commmonest things around =)

and just as the seniors told us last year, you'll know when it snows because everyone (almost) will put "snow" by their msn nicknames. how true, haha.
