First Snow

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Today, unexpectedly, I came into Salem to find a winter wonderland. The drive in was foggy, as usual but no real precipitation. As I drove over the bridge into Salem, a fine white powder began to fall from the sky. The ground was tinted a slight white. It was a wonderful sight.
To my enjoyment, the snow continued to fall throughout the day. It’s amazing how uplifting the first snowfall of the year can be, especially in a place where there isn’t much snow expected at all. Snow to us is a treat. My coworkers and I took a jaunt outside to see the snowflakes fall. We ventured out into it and stuck out our tongues in joy to catch the falling snow. We jumped around like children, enjoying the sight of winter. We hoped it would continue and blanket the land with as much snow as would fall! It was a joyous occasion!
