It froze over

I never thought I’d say this, but I miss snow.
Oh, not the actual snow itself, and certainly not the way people behave when it snows — especially on the roads — but rather, the anticipation and the guessing game that starts the instant snow is predicted.
Back home, the game has begun. Forecasters say the snow will begin in the early morning hours tomorrow. If I were there, I’d probably find myself waking up around 4am and looking at the window waiting for the flakes to fall; wondering how many inches there would be and whether it would stick.
The most excitement, weather-wise, in San Jose has been the storm that blew through last week, dumping rain everywhere. Certainly not worth waking up in anticipation of.
