It started yesterday. First comin in large, wet, unsticky flakes but by 12:30AM, there was 1/2" on the ground, it was slightly warmer than it has been for a few days, it was light out and the snow that was coming down was starting to really stick. This morning, we had nearly 4" but the city is snow free. I was up that late working on an expository essay on Gwendolyn Brooks' poem "the mother". I wanted to get a frist draft done so that I can edit before Thursday. I'm quite happy with the initial result. It just needs some tweeking. And that has been the extent of my excitement. But this morning, I was catching up on my reading and wiccachicky had a great meme that I had to steal. Feel free to run with it if you like!
