The Night of the Snow!

For those of you who know me, I HATE snow, I HATE cold, and I HATE living in PA because of this. Tonight tho..was a little different. I had work from 12:30-5:00. Around 3:30 it started to snow, and as I kept glancing out of the giant window that was freedom, I saw snow accumulting on EVERYTHING. I started to get irritated and upset and just blah because I did not want this to happen, I did not want to have to shovel my building because of mother nature. After work I had to catch the bus to campus beacuse i had a Class from 6-9. I wasnt too happy walking in the snow to my class. I was shivering, tensing up becuase of the coldness and because of that my back started to hurt. Okay basically that was all filler in junk to let you know a little of how this night started...

After class, I immediately stepped outside and the sidewalks were even more covered from when i walked in, and the top of my boot made a deep impressions as i walked. I was shivering like crazy, just wanting to get to the bus stop, not have to wait for a bus, and just to get home to some place warm. After trudging in the thick snow, I finally got to the bus stop. The first ten minutes i was soo cold i didn think i was going to make it. The guy next to me even said "You that cold huh" my teeth chattering was more than enough of an answer for him. As i stood there gazing out, immpatiently waiting for the Next V or NV bus to arrive i started to really look at the snow. It was captivating. The Flakes were HUGE like i know i live in PA and snow flakes are a common thing in the winter months, but these snow flakes were on steriods. I just stood there..staring. Eventually i stared at the road, and the way the flakes were falling all around me was soooo cool. I felt like it was something from a movie! FINALLY a Bus...but what does it say....cant tell its snowing wayy too hard.....N. Fuck that I am not riding the N it would take me an Hour to get home idc. As the N bus slowly drove away, I realized something im not as cold as i originally was. I was....content. I also noticed something else, the snowflakes weren't so big..they were now at a normal size, but they were coming down harder. So hard it was hard to make out the light pole across the street from me. I then looked up into the dark cold sky and immediatly my face got bombarded with snowflakes. Most people wouldnt have done this..but i was intrigued. I loved how that looked.

Most everyone waiting for a bus this night was under the shelter, but not me. I was the lone ranger standing under the Light pole with snow coming down on me like crazy. At one point i looked down and my top of my boot had almost an inch of snow on the top from standing in one spot. Matter of fact, there were several points while waiting i had to lower my arms and dust off the snow that had collected in the wrinkles of my jacket because there was soo much of it. There i was this girl listening to my ipod, staring into the darkness at the gazillions of snowflakes falling on my face. I would have looked longer but eventually i realized i probably looked like some foreigner to most, and they probably thought this was like the first time i actually seen snow. At this moment in time, i really didnt mind waiting in the snow, i didnt get upset when the blue loop came around for the 5th time while standing there, and the N came around 2 times while standing. I didnt care, beacuse at that moment i was so content staring at this snow, that i was in awe of mother nature. It was soo amazing to be witnessing the dizzying effect of the snow falling all around me. Sure my feet were completely frozen, and my hands were a shade of purple that i had never seen before, but tonight, that didnt bother me. I was happy to see it snowing so heavily.

So basically in a nut shell that was my amazing experince in the snow, that i hate ever so much. Were  supposed to get around 8 inches tonight, so keep your fingers crossed that PSU closes.....BAHHAHAH yeah RIGHT like they would ever do that. LOL

Peace.
