It SNOWED!

Alright, so nearly everoyone I've come across with London I've felt compelled to share with them the simple notion that I have yet to see snow. Even people at my internship know how obsessed I am with wanting to see snow. Well I got my wish. Now, let me first start off by saying that it didn't snow significantly enough for me to play in it. Oh yes I said play because that's exactly what I want to do if it snows hard enough is PLAY in the SNOW. I want to build a snowman, make snow angels (laugh it up), go sledding and get in a snowball fight. None of which I've ever done and must do before I get too old to enjoy making a snowman.

I was walking in Camden Market looking for a backpacking backpack for my trip to Italy in 3 days. All I have are suitcases and traveling around 4 different cities with those rolling suitcases can be a bitch. As I'm making my way back towards the tube a large black cloud loomed overhead. The day was freezing, but I was comfortable (I had my long johns on). I didn't think it was going to snow, but as I'm about to walk into the station tiny white balls start falling. Alright, so you're going to think I'm an idiot but I had no idea it was snow for a good 2 minutes. I looked at them and thought first they were ashes from something burning, then I thought they were shredded paper, but as they hit me and they felt cold and then started melting I realized it was snow. Those are usually to significant hints that it's snowing.

From a previous post I had mentioned I had seen flurry, but this was full on snow. It was solid little pieces of snow flakes falling from the sky. They were like tiny snowballs. They fell rapidly, it was kind of like rain (yes I know that's what snow is) but solid. The snow didn't last long on the floor, it'd melt almost instanteously. I stood outside and let it fall on me for a while before I decided to get on the tube, but the 10 minutes I stood outside was amazing. No one else seemed phased by the idea that it was snowing. Everyone in Camden Town acted like it was normal for them and it may very well be. It was amazing for me though. Again, I felt like a little kid and I'm still so happy that I can find things that amaze me like that. I've been on this earth for 21 years and I still haven't seen everything and little things like that are worthwhile.

As I stood there letting the snow fall on me (I literally just stood in the middle of the sidwalk) people kept looking at me like I was a weirdo. I took a picture, but you can hardly see the snow in it. Anyways, I was standing there just staring up at the sky and the snow falling when a tiny snow flake falls into my eye. I flip out in the middle of the street screaming "mother fucker my eye" (bare in mind I'm by myself). I laugh now, but I was embarrassed because I forgot I was in public flipping out about how this tiny snow flake just irritated my eye. I guess you had to be there.

The northern part of England just got hit by a massive blizzard and ridiculous amounts of snow. I just may take a trip there to go play in the snow. Yes, play.
