SNOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!

I was running late for work today. I opened my curtains to let in enough light to hunt for socks like I always do.
And this is what I saw:


These past few days have been especially cold, and last night it was drizzling a little bit.
Is this what happens when it rains and the temperature is at or below freezing? Impossible!
Scraping snow (not just frost) off my windshield made me a couple minutes late, but I've been just giddy all day. My students think I'm crazy. But I got to teach them the words "snowy" and "melted snow" today. I, in turn, learned "yuki dassen." It means "snowball fight." Oh, and a big, tough judo club 3rd year told me in English that he made a baby snowman in his yard this morning. Yay!
