One of the things I was really looking forward to when coming to a very cold and rainy country around Winter was to see some snow... Unfortunately, when I got here and shared that aspiration of mine with the locals they disencouraged me immediately saying that snow is a very rare phenomenon around here and I guess it's understandable due to the proximity to the sea. Nevertheless, I still kept dreaming and wishing for it. I mean, it's so cold... The least you can do is give me some snow!!
I had already lost up... But... Today I woke up, looked out the window and it was snowing!! I felt like I was in a movie set around Christmas time... Even though I've been to Serra da Estrela back in Portugal and saw some old snow turned into ice, I've never actually seen snow falling from the skies and I certainly have never played with it...
Imagine my delight going through the streets to go to work feeling the snowflakes in my face. Never thought I could enjoy a Monday morning so much, but the snow really made my day!
