I woke up sweating because I left the heat vent open in my room over night - big mistake.

It was so bright out, so on my way to the bathroom, I glanced outside...and seared my eyeballs on the glaring white snow.

4 inches, currently, and counting.

Someone told me yesterday that we were under a winter storm advisory for the next few days. I blew it off, knowing that it's the first day of Spring (thereabouts) and therefore that blizzard is not in the vocabulary of Springtime.

Trudging through the snow in my old Doc Martens, slipping more than gripping the road, I passed by a pine tree and smiled as the wind whistled through the needles; it sounded much colder than it actually felt. The falling snowflakes were so large that when one would fall into my mouth, it quenched my thirst.

Ridiculous.
