I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with Snow... What is Christmas with no snow?

Well, we officially got our first snow of the season. There were a few flurries on Thanksgiving Day but not enough to stick or cause much of a ruckus. This weekend, however, we got the legit, 100% white water crystals all over the ground. According to my iPhone, today's high was 22 with a low of 7. The current outside temperature is 15 degree Fahrenheit. The big issue here is typically the ice and wind. We only got 3-4 inches of snow which isn't too bad. Combine branches loaded with ice and strong wind, and you've got a problem. We had a small branch fall off our tree in the backyard probably due to this heavy ice, strong wind phenomenon. This afternoon we had a fun time watching our squirrels still run around the yard and chase each other. The weekend is now over, and now I have to face the fact that I have finals staring me in the face on Thursday. Time to buckle down and do some work.
