SNOW!!!

Hola todos,

Yes, you heard right. It SNOWed here! Wow! That does not often happen here apparently (so my host family says). People were driving very slow (because generally everyone drives like a maniac) when the roads were wet. But yes it was crazy. I had checked the weather then night before and it said it would be 52 (F), so I figured, oh, I don't even need my scarf! Wrong! I walked outside and it was cold! I kept passing white stuff on the grass, and after I decided it was NOT paint, I looked closer and realized it was ice! Strange I thought! Then after riding the bus for a while, more buildings came into view and I saw that there was an inch or two of snow on all the rooftops! It was so funny! Apparently I can't escape Wisconsin. :) But anyway, it was very pretty and I took a few pictures before it all melted (by the end of the day). Today was cold too (it snowed yesterday), although only if you think 40 (F) is cold. Of course if I were in Wisconsin I would think it was warm, but I make the excuse now that I've adapted to the weather here, and since it's been 50's since we've been here, 40 is cold. Haha apparently I'm not very convincing though, the other SNC girls make fun of me. :) ...I just don't have my layers! I usually am wearing a tank top, long sleeve t, t-shirt, sweatshirt, coat, etc., and I definitely don't have that here!

So anyway, I realize that I've been here for about 2 weeks now, which I think is crazy! I'm really starting to settle in and feel comfortable here, though of course I still miss things from home. Still, every day I come to school I notice something new and fall in love with this city all over again. :)
