I stumbled out here to take some melatonin in the hopes of returning to the elusive darkness of sleep, when gazing out the window I became aware of something different.
Snow. The long promised snow from recent forecasts has finally manifested itself.
While it is not snowing now, I'm hoping that if I successfully return to the much desired dormancy of sleep I will find a heavier blanket when I awaken in the morning. Where I live, snow is a fairly rare thing to experience. While we do have weather cold enough to support it during our winters, these cold spells are quite short and typically end in rain.
Even this snow is not expected to last more than a few hours into today. I can only hope that it lasts long enough for a good snowball fight or to bring about a respectable population of snowmen.
