Let It Snow!

So today we had our first wintry weather. We had freezing rain earlier in the day and lucky us, we had snowfall for the drive home. Now, none of this really amounted to actual accumulation, but it was enough to make people lose their minds. When I went to lunch, my drivers side door was covered in ice. Thinking I was super smart, I backed into my parking place when I got back so that the drivers side wasn't facing north and it wouldn't be covered in ice when I left work.

Well, lo and behold, that worked. The passenger side was covered in ice and the drivers side was clean. It had little specs on it, but not much. What the drivers door had on it, was the most awesome thing. It was a snowflake. But it wasn't any ordinary snowflake. It was one of those perfect snowflakes that looks like exactly like the snowflakes you see on wrapping paper and those cut-out snowflakes you did as a kid.

I tried to take a picture of it with my cell phone, but since it was the size of a large pin head, it didn't quite work. It was beautiful though.

So back to the windows. Backstory: last winter my driver's window froze shut and since I tried to open it anyway, it really messed up the motor. Present day: I had to go to the bank on my way home. I thought since there was no ice on my window it was fine. When I got to the bank, the window was frozen shut! So much for outsmarting Mother Nature!
