snowy days

It's so beautiful. I woke up, after having slept around 3 hours, to the most beautiful sight I've seen recently. Snow. White Snow. Incredible. It's not often snow falls, about once a year, but when it does, it literally stops everything. It was breathtaking. I'm also happy for selfish reasons.

Plus, it snowed on Valentines Day.
