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!!
