Snow

It's been cooling off quite a bit here in Ann Arbor the last few weeks. You can definitely tell winter is coming, slowly. But today was a tough milestone in the annual march toward winter. When I left for work this morning I noticed an alarming thing. As the garage door opened I saw a very light snow flying through the air.

At first I wasn't sure, or maybe I didn't want to admit it, but as I backed out and looked through the windshield it was unmistakable and undeniable. Like I said, I knew it was coming. I'm just not sure I'm ready. I mean, the Tigers are still playing baseball for Pete's sake.

To be honest, snow itself doesn't bother me. A lot of people talk about how much they hate snow, but I think what they're really saying is they hate winter and snow is the most obvious indicator of winter. I've always thought snow is pretty. And not only that, it seems to me that it doesn't snow when it is super cold, so snow can actually be an indication that the weather in fact isn't that bad.
