I've become pretty jaded against snow since I moved to St. Louis from Atlanta. I generally hate the stuff. I turns gray with exaust fumes and leaves a nasty mess in the yard when it melts (I have 2 labs...if you do too you know what I'm talking about.)
That being said tonights snow is the prettiest I've seen since I spent a season working at Araphoe Basin in Colorado.
We had 2 days of bitter cold so it doesn't melt when it hits the ground, however the temp when up today and is barly below freezing so it seems pleasant out. It's been snowing for about 4 hours at a nice, light, steady pace so it's sticking to the trees well. (Snow never looks good unless it's coating the trees.)
This is one of those dry snows that is perfect for snowballs. You collect it up in your hand and your body heat melts/solidifies the outside. When you throw it you get a nice little sting followed by a big explosion from all the dry inside snow.
Too bad my 3 month old daughter is too appreciate a good snowball fight :D.
Just thought I'd share...
