Its snowing ....

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 ....

Memories are not stored in camera or pictures but rather in some remote corner of your brain, which will keep popping-up till the last day of your life.

I am sure it is more fun with snow unlike here with icy rain, 50% of vehicles on the curbs and ditches, and above that dense fog minimizes the visibility.

I wish I had that chance to be in snow, skiing, playing, and snow boarding, rather than driving 10K miles in 10 weeks on icy roads.... It's definitely not fun.......

Dear Lady,

You should come to a certain place called Madison at Wisconsin. It's -22F outside. That's -30C. Everything's buried in snow. Our feet freeze over inside leather boots. We use our freezer to keep things warm. And the lake beside looks ever more beautiful like a bowl of frozen milk. And the air smells fresher than ever. When Nature gets extreme, she looks hot!
