After coming to London, I was most excited about snow!! Back home I kept planning on my ‘white christmas‘, (which of course I never got!!)
But nonetheless, my excitement about snow continued! Many people would wonder why anyone would get as excited about snow as me!
I first saw snow the week before christmas. That aired my hopes of a white Christmas!
Though sadly, I hardly saw the snow once it hit the ground! I suppose I shoul be saying that it was my first glimpse if snowfall in London!!
Towards the end of January, London suddenly decided to introduce me to snow!!
It was beautiful!! But of course, I have only seen snow twice before and so the excitement had no bounds!! I wanted to do everything kids did in the snow!
So I made my very first snowman!! Not that it was perfect, but then, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder!!
The thing about snow is, as long as it snows its warm! The moment it stops, thats when the cold sets in!
This still did not stop classes etc., so I had to continue running to university every day!
Walking on snow can be tricky at times! Fresh snow is not the troube! The problem is the day after it as snowed, when due to the cold, the snow freezes! Ice is formed which is extremely slippery!
Regardless of what people may say, walking in the snow is fun. Sure I used to almost slip at times, but that doesmt mean it was a nightmare walking! On the contrary, it was quite exciting!
The first day, I tried walking in the snow with plastic bags tied to my feet. It worked as far as saving my shoes was concerned, but not more than that! When running to school, I just decided to go ahead wearing my shoes and walking in the snow! It was just amazing!
