It's... snowing!

Yes, it is! And this was my day so far:
I've had a cold for the past few days, and this morning it expanded to include a sore throat. Then there was getting to school at 9:30 because of this abnormal traffic, due to the very heavy rain. I had a chemistry test during the first two periods, but the rest of the day was something of a waste of time because all of the teachers were sick and almost nobody was there. They let us out an hour early, and I found myself hoping I wouldn't get stuck in Yerushalayim when the snow decided to come down. There was a tiny bit of snow when I was on my way home, but nothing noteworthy, or sticky for that matter. I walked home from the bus while being pelted with tiny hailstones, but no snow.
When I got home, I went on my computer for a bit and hung out with my brother Noam. I was helping him build this Lego truck, and suddenly my sister Sarah comes in and says, "Have you looked out the window?" We hadn't, and therefore failed to notice the thin layer of white on our front lawn. We worked on the truck some more, and then my sister Mira called us downstairs and told us to look out the window. There were massive amounts of flakes falling, and everything outside was white. We were kind of thrilled...
Awhile later Mira and the boys and I went outside, and we had a bit of fun in the snow. It was really beautiful in the snow at night, but the sad thing about this country is that nobody can guarantee it'll be there tomorrow. What's the point of snow, especially in Israel, if school doesn't get canceled?
Anyway, of course tonight had to be the night our gas broke at home. That means, no hot showers, and no use of the stove, which means a lot of the "snow foods" aren't available. On top of that, we also lost power for about 20 minutes.
I managed to get a short shower, and dinner was soup out of the freezer. Thank heavens for the microwave!
So I started feeling a bit worse, and I took my temperature. Now I have a drop of fever, but that's just frustrating. I hate being sick and having no fever, so since I had a cold anyway I would have much preferred to have the fever on one of the earlier days this week.
So that's our story. I think snow is good any time.
