Chance of snow

RAIN SHOWERS LIKELY THIS EVENING...THEN A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. LOWS AROUND 20. NORTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 20 MPH. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 60 PERCENT.

Or so they say, anyway. They've been forecasting flurries for late tonight, but right now we've got clumps of snow being flung around with considerable vigor by these winds. There's already an inch on the ground. It's fluffy and damp, so I doubt it'll shut down the city completely [Check back tomorrow to see if I'm eating my words]. No school tomorrow, but then school's out for the semester.

This morning we were joking about the flurries, in an "Oh yeah, three flakes and they call it a flurry" sort of way, then we started getting ahead of ourselves, daydreaming about all the things we could do once I get out of school.

Oz said, "So if we can ever take mini-vacations again, we should go out into the mountains and get a place, a condo or something, with a big picture window and a view of the mountains and the snow. And soft chairs and a fireplace. And a big pile of books. We can just read and watch the snow."

Is it any wonder that I love this man?
