Glorious!

It snowed last night.
It snowed a LOT last night.
Like 8 inches, but since it's windy and the white stuff is drifting, the snow is up in the feet in some areas.
hehe
I am like a small child again, giggling and the snowfall, wishing it was on a Monday so I didn't have to go to school. The only difference now is that I work at the school, and I have to worry about getting my car out into the world.
Other than that, same exact feeling.
I want to bundle up and go make snow angels, construct snowmen, and start a snowball fight. Anything involving this wonderful, powdery, heavenly snow!
The man on the news just said something about Washington D.C. being caught in a "Winter Wonderland" then he admitted that yes, when it snows we all resort to corny cliches. "We can't help it," he says.
So true. Everything that is common and over-stated about snow comes to mind and spills out of out our mouths unbidden. We're helpless against the torrent of cliches and similes. It's like a sickness, but one we're all to willing to let ourselves suffer from.
What can I say? Snow makes me poetic. Something about it reminds me why I love words. It forces my vocabulary to burst forth with vim and vigor, fastidiously forming together to create more descriptive and full sentences to convey the feelings welling up inside of my soul.
See what I mean?
Giddy as a schoolgirl.
