Winter is here after all the dilly dallying. After it kept us waiting for thanks giving ,Christmas and even New year. It was so unlike Philly not be cold and chilly on these days.
There have been many light snow showers making it uniquely memorable. Reminds me of my first snow in philly. I had fallen straight into it after sliding on the wooden steps. I dint have the right snow shoes then. Now I tread the steps more carefully and enjoy every bit of the chilly breeze blocked partly by my jacket and muffler.
Beautiful as the sight is getting with snow, this time it is flightier. It feels best when u can see through the snow as it clearly cuddles into your palms.
I had so less time during my first year to think about the snow. It was more like,'Why does it ever snow?', because I felt most of it under my shoes when I was running between classes,labs and on campus jobs. Not to mention the oodles of snow which went inside my jacket and in my face (unexpectedly every time),when I was trying to stay away from my pals who were playing with snow. I somehow never realized my resolute to give it back to them (with interest).
Also that time when I posed for camera shots with me in my first snow. And later on realized that the camera had gone out of memory and efficiently displayed flashes only. Thanks to my roomie!
I can go on and on. Because its just not snow. There have been a million tags to it ,people,places and moments attached ....
