First "snow"

Last night at work while I was getting report, one of my coworker’s commented that Mrs. So&So said that it was going to snow. Well all I could say was that it was not cold enough to snow but I decided to check it out anyway and since my job is wired to the web I typed in Weather.com and sure enough Mrs. So&So was right. It was going to snow. At around 11:30pm security walked by and told us that the snow “was really coming down out there”. Well I right away said “I’m taking a break” and off I went to the loading dock to see the snow. Now folks I love snow. I like the way it smells and tastes and I like the way it feels against my face and I was a bit excited. That excitement was short lived. The snow was wet and very fine and the temperature was just above freezing. This was going to be nothing more that a nuisance. The snow was very wet so the bridges and overpasses were going to have slick spots on them and I was going to have to scrape the windshield before I went home in the morning. Never the less it was a cause for excitement here (we are in the south folks if this had been a school day school would have been at the very least delayed). This was our first taste of winter.
