The Snow and Me


Really thought I had a few more snow free weeks up my sleeve. I was wrong. Very wrong.

 

So on Thursday the 25th of October 2012, I, Annie Rea, saw here first ever Swedish snow. Much to my host families amusement I went jumping up and down to every window in the house looking out saying “It’s snowing, omg it’s snowing!” funnily enough Swedish snow looks the same as New Zealand snow. It’s still white and it still falls from the sky!

My host brother, Aron, can running into my room going “it’s snowing Annie, it’s snowing!!!!!” and then laughed at me as I was looking out all the windows!

It wasn’t much snow but it was still there in the morning. Sadly it was not enough to make a snowman or even have a snowball fight. But I am sure that soon enough I will have enough snow to make snowmen until the cows come home! The snow has now turned to ice and slush in most places but in the forest behind my house it is untouched making it look like Christmas with snow covered pine trees. I like it!
 
 
SNOW!
 
 

Going to school this morning was something quite new. It was the first time that my trusty Kathmandu jacket failed me for warmth. The wind was bitterly cold and cut right though the jacket! But it was only a short walk down the now icy and slippy hill to the bus stop, getting warmer as I went down my hill! Once I got to school I was very happy that school is all in one building! Made me happy knowing I didn’t have to go out in the cold to get to my next class.

I am kind of looking forward to having more snow and I have been assured by many of people that it is just around the corner! Looking forward to it!!
