Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

It's finally REALLY snowing!  We had the 'spitting' kind snow maybe a month ago.  Then a week or so ago we had snow that stayed for about an hour in the morning and melted.  But TODAY...today I woke to a beautiful blanket of snow covering the whole city, and more coming down all day.  Blizzardy, blustery, fluffy snow right in the face.  Loved it.  I really like snow...especially since I don't drive here.

By the way, pray for Greg and Brenda that they'll be able to get here tomorrow without snow-induced problems!

I made a cake this evening from a box that contained even the pan for baking it.  It was a gift from someone from the Rochester, PA church - they'd gathered all kinds of mixes and sent 'em my way.  Amazing that you can just open a box, add water to a mix, throw it in a pan, take it out, squeeze icing on top, and tada - that's it!  What's really great is that this was a chocolate cake with chocolate icing.  Felt like I was cheating and all - but it was still pretty decent  :)

Was walking to a 'simple church' this afternoon (a group that meets in an apartment -- and what's especially nice - a group not led by me!) and it was all snowy and slushy on the skinny bit of walkable sidewalk.  Someone hit me like a linebacker from behind trying to squeeze through and I said, loud enough to hear 'Ay, yay, yay!'

Not sure if I'm becoming aggressive or just becoming a bit more Ukrainian.  It's the whole public 'disciplining' of the people around you.  There's a lot of waiting in lines, pushing and shoving, etc - and people usually feel the need to be verbal about it if they think someone's overstepped.  Shocked me at first, but now, hmm...I guess I'm getting used to it!
