snowstorm

moscow sent us a big cold front with wind and rain that came in last night and rattled our shutters and doors. then the temperature dropped to freezing in the wee hours, so all day today it's been snowing.

like any good houstonian, i'm all wowed, and checking the windows every half-hour or so to see if it's still going on. snow is like some kind of magical powder that hasn't lost it's romance for me. i never really lived up north ... excepting one winter in st. louis when my sister and i ran out into the snow to fetch a mix tape out of her car and we fell in up to our thighs. good times good times

i hope this snow in athens will go on long enough to make a snowman on my balcony, and take a beautiful photo of the nearby lykavittos hill covered in snow. i know my northern friends will giggle at this little piddly amount of snow, and my greek & texan friends will marvel at how we ever got through it.

it is all relative isnt it? philippe said temperature is never absolute .. anyone got any smarty-pants stuff to add to that? i/m gonna grab a carrot and make a snowman.

oh, and PS,, some guy tried to pick me up at the grocery yesterday!!, isnt it cool? it put an extra skip in my step.
