Let it Snow!
It’s been raining since about four this afternoon. Apparently the weather around here is going to be just beautiful for the next couple of days. Let me just give you some insight into the forecast.Tonight: Quite contrary to the almost 70 degree temperatures of the past few days, the temperature is steadily dropping into the mid-30s. Rain, which started at about four this afternoon, will continue in copious amounts, leading to possible flash flooding. There is also a chance of hail and gusting winds. How gorgeous. Around 3 am, the icing will begin. Clearly, the ground is too warm at the present time for the ice to stick there, but it will certainly stick to trees and power lines, leading to possible mayhem.
Thursday: Somewhere between 6 and 9 am, the air will finally be cold enough for the icing to turn to snow. They’re predicting about half an inch before a lull in the conditions.
Thursday Evening: Early in the evening the snow will begin again, possibly including thunder and lightning (aka thundersnow).* The later it gets, the faster the snow will fall, with predictions of six to twelve inches here in College Town, falling on top of the ice and making the roads a slick, disgusting mess.
Now why does all of this have me so pleased? I love snow. No, seriously, I love snow. I think it’s one of the most beautiful natural elements that we can see, and it’s definitely my favorite weather phenomenon. The fact that it could get me out of classes for the next two days is really just a bonus.
Weather updates coming tomorrow. The update will come much sooner if I manage to get out of classes.**
*I dream of seeing thundersnow. I love snow, I love storms, what’s not to be excited about? Here’s hoping.
**Who am I kidding? If I don't have class, I'm going straight back to bed!

Thundersnow?! lmao. I have honestly never heard that expression before. Guess you can tell I'm from the desert, huh? Yeah, so to me that sounds quite cold, and as I am a wuss when it comes to any temperature below 50 degrees, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that sucks. But yay for not going to class! That does not suck. In any way, shape, or form. I say stay in bed all day whether it snows or not. Fuck it all. My expression for the night. Use it at your will. :)
P.S. On further consideration, I realized that that expression is not just for tonight. It's pretty much for all the time. Meh.
Okay so I am odd, we were already well aware of this. So you shouldn't be surprised by this very odd statement. The only thing that I could think of when you said the icing will begin, was someone taking a knife and adding frosting to all of the trees and power lines. Once again with the food comments,OMG, I am full of them!
Happy to see that you are getting your snow though Nic, you can take it! I could definitely do without some of this powdery pain in the ass snow for awhile! Good luck on getting out of those classes!
