First Day of Snow

Yesterday was the first day of snow.  It's been getting progressively colder every day for the last week and rain turned to hail and finally into soft powdery fun.  It's really fun to just watch it fall and slowly transform the urban landscape. I've spoken to friend's abroad in Italy, Denmark and London and everyone is experiencing the joy of snow right now and I'm glad to share the ecstasy.  And although I do miss the moderate climate of socal, it would be nice if we got a little snow once in a while.  It's just good natural fun.  But I guess LA's the center for pollution and global warming so oh well.  No pictures yet, its not cold enough where the snow stays very long.  Mostly it just falls from the sky and melts upon impact because it's still just above freezing temps here, but maybe when I come back from Tokyo, that will be different.  And yes, thin California jeans are no match for 0 degree weather combined with wind.  I'll get more thermals later.
