got the snow

it's snowing outside.
'they' said we were supposed to only get flurries.
'they' also said we were only getting flurries when we were obviously under 'showers' conditions

didn't surprise me - - my head's been splitting for the past 2 days.
and no, it's not from the stress of the presentation I had to give today
or the fact that it's december and we ONLY JUST finished painting the downstairs rooms
or the fact that the flooring is still two weeks away
it's from the weather. it almost always triggers a migraine

'they' also say that we're not supposed to be getting much more than flurries tonight or tomorrow and that we might get showers on Wednesday, but my head tells me otherwise, and since i second guessed it this morning (and came out to a snow-covered car at 3) when i shouldn't have, i'm guessing we might get more than they're predicting.

still, it's not deep or sticky wet
or impairing the actual road conditions
(though it did almost destroy the ability of most of the other folks on the road to drive faster than 35 miles an hour - - except for those who had to drive 90)
and certainly not snowman quality

but it's pretty.
and i love pretty snow.
especially in december.

all of a sudden
in spite of the head
and the presentation
and the pitiful state of the house that would be home
i am almost feeling a hint of holiday spirit
stirring in my self
and wondering if it's too cold for stringing lights
