I'm slightly disappointed right now. So, there was a chance for it to snow today and instead it rained all day. I was finally recovering from my lost hope when I saw on my current weather conditions on my home page that there was light snow occuring in Searcy. I got so excited I ran outside and there was nothing.

It makes me so sad for I absolutely love snow. I think it is quite possibly one of the most beautiful things. There's something almost "magical" about it. It seems to have the power to spread a peaceful blanket over everything somehow making it all clean.

In a German movie there's a scene where a girl explains to her deaf father what snow sounds like falling, and she simply signs "silence." It's so true. Snow seems to silence everything around. I grew up in a busy suburb of Detroit and whenever it snowed, which it did frequently, it seemed to quite the rush of cars and the noise of the people. It's simply an amazing feeling to stand outside when the snow falls and just be; just listen and look around at the beauty of it all. If you have never experienced this, I suggest that you should. The best time is at night because all the lights reflect off the clouds and the snow and it feels as if there is this blanket surrounding you. I can't wait for it to snow.

Even though I know it won't, I want to wake up in the morning and look out my window and see this fresh white blanket covering the ground, make some hot chocolate and then walk outside so I can be the first person to step into the snow and hear the amazing velvet crush sound that snow makes when its walked on. I hope this happens soon because the first snowfall is one of my favorite times of the year. Well, that's enough for me. I think I'm going to go play "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" and just imagine that its doing that right now.
