Oh the Beautiful Snow!

Class cancelled, small group cancelled, prayer room hours cancelled....
     It's a snow day!!! This is our second day of cancelled classes and we face the third day tomorrow! I've never been in this much snow before! I feel like there is a foot and a half or two feet of snow! I got to shovel off our driveway this morning for the first time ever! Watched movie and hung out with a friend yesterday! Today I shoveled snow, had a mini snowball fight with the neighbor kids, and went on a walk with another friend!

   Over the weekend before we were blanketed with snow, I experienced my first ice! For whatever reason where I'm from in Japan the snow doesn't turn to ice. We might get a little bit of snow, but it either just sits there nicely or melts! But here in KC we got snow/rain (or whatever it was I can't remember anymore!) and it just coated everything with ice! Solid ice!
    So it's quite the adventure! Winter here is a lot different than winters I'm used to in Japan! One huge difference (other than the snow and ice...) is the temperature! Kobe would hover around freezing for several months. But here we've had temps from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to -15! Lately it's been staying between 0 and 12 degrees Fahrenheit! Brrrrrrrrrr.....

     It's been a LONG time since I wrote a post on my blog, but I just had to share my new winter experiences! And who knows... maybe now that second semester is rolling along, I'll get to write more often!

    Well friends, stay warm!
