First Snow at last!

Finally, my childhood dream to see snow has come true. hahahahahhahahahh!!! i'm so happy.
It all started last saturday when my groupmates and I went to Vermont to visit the Ben & Jerry's factory for our school project.

Gaga (Yamaga from Japan), Tim (from USA), Irina (from Germany), Abhi (from New Zealand) and I went up to Vermont last weekend. On our way to Ben & Jerry's, as we were asking for directions, Tim called out to me and said "Hey, you've never seen snow before right? Come over here and look". There we were standing out in the cold at around 30 degrees (F) even though it was a bright sunny day, and I said "Where? all I can see are debris?" Tim rolled his eyes and said "It's not debris, it's snow. Look!" and he pointed to his jumper. True enough, when I looked closely, it was the tiniest small particle of snow. It was so pretty. I practically jumped up and down excitedly. Giggling all the way. Tim wanted to get in the car and I told him to wait as I wanted Gaga to take a picture of the snow on his jumper. Gaga and Irina was laughing all the way. Gaga told me that I sounded like a kid. I couldn't care less. Even when we were in the car long after that, I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.
Oh Joy! Oh Joy!

It snowed even heavier today in Boston (monday), but the feeling isn't the same anymore. It was a wet snow experience. There's no turning back now. It's just gonna get colder and colder from here onwards.

Oh joy! Oh joy! I can imagine that you were jumping and singing like those actors in Singing in the Rain musical - in the snow. Its a great feeling to learn that someone else is happy :) Though i doubt that you'll love the bone chilling winter itself.
