Yes, I know this is my second post about snow, but I'm Canadian. So it's allowed.
Today we had our second snowfall and it was so prettiful! More than yesterday, maybe about half a centimetre in total.
Really, I just wanted to let you know that the best place to experience the first decent snowfall of the year is on the school grounds of a foreign country in an area that hasn't seen snow in four years.
The utter glee and excitement was extraordinarily contagious. And an especially magic moment for me was hearing dozens of my students exclaiming "Snow! Snow!" in English and knowing that it's because of me they even know that word.
Although I would be little disturbed if they didn't know it, I actually miss snow and therefore talk about it a lot. I made it one of their vocabulary words. Along with "snowman".
And it was fun to watch them attempt to have snowball fights with what little snow there was, and to just know that - unlike in parts of Canada - snowball fights are not banned from the playgrounds.

we were in TO today and they had about that much snow - but not that much here in the fruit belt today.
Hey Natalya.
I mentioned your blog in Norval Online and I see that 20 Norval Onliners have become Pissue Paperers!!
It's been a riot reading your writing! Thanks for doing it. Keeps us smiling. Hope you are too!!
