Snow Snow Everywhere!

I love the snow,  I love the prettiness of it when it falls and how bright and pretty it all looks the morning after. It reminds me of when I was little and would have snow days (something that does not appear to exist in Chicago) and I would run into my brother's room and ask him to play in the snow. He would start with this really exciting sounding voice and say "ahhhhh, NO!" but he would always play with me anyway because I was his annoying little sister and secretly I think he had fun. One year we built this sweet fort that took the whole day. It was awesome. We would also make snow apples and eat them...which is really gross looking back on it, but at the time was fun. Then for lunch we would always have grilled cheese and tomato soup. And now every time it snows that is all I want-I may have a Pavlov situation on my hands. When I got off the bus from work last night I had this urge to plop down in the unpaved road (I also learned anything west of Ashland does not get plowed) and do snow angels. I didn't end up doing it...but I REALLY wanted to! I wish Chicago wasn't so flat...I would totally go sledding today!
