The first snowfall of the year happened last Saturday, November 2nd. It was beautiful — not much snow fell, but the way it swirled around the streetlights was beautiful and made me remember how much I love the sights of wintertime. It’s my favorite season, despite the flu and the shoveling.
Last night it fell for the first time in any great amount. Lots of snow, actually — I think, so far, we’ve gotten about 15 cm and five more are on the way. It, also, is very pretty, but it’s wreaked havoc on the city. No one was expecting so much snow so early in the year. The power was on and off all night at home, and the drive to Halifax was extremely horrid and scary. I’m now sitting in the Computer Science building at Dal, and the power is out. Classes are cancelled. It’s weird — all the buildings are pitch black here, especially the library, because there are no windows, except for the skylight in the Atrium, which is covered in snow. The CS building, however, is somewhat surreal, because it’s practically silent. Normally, it hums with the activity of 500+ computers. Now it’s just me and a handful of other people sitting in Ground Zero.
The coffee ladies are here.
And I wanted coffee.
And there’s no electricity. Sigh.
