When I lived in Moscow it started snowing on 27 September (freakishly cold winter that year) and didn't stop until April. Did I stop being excited by it? Did I hell?! Got a bit bored by it lying around all the time, but every time it actually snowed, and you got that amazing hushed sound, like the world is holding its breath and the sparkle of snowflakes in streetlights I was eight all over again. LOVE IT! Even made a rubbish day at work in grimy London feel a bit better today (had turned into rain by the time I left, naturally, but for about half an hour it was wonderful - just as long as it doesn't cause my plane to be cancelled on Sat of course...)Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975259590293860488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-89680460880940924692009-12-16T17:46:39.989+01:002009-12-16T17:46:39.989+01:00There's a reason I don't plan on leaving M...There's a reason I don't plan on leaving Michigan.

Amy on the other hand, is very excited and is also very annoyed that it hasn't snowed yet.
