SNOW!

A snowy world

This is what I woke up to! A white, snowy, cold world. Snow amazes and excited me. We knew it would snow overnight, so, like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning, I kept waking up every couple of hours looking out the window to see if it had snowed yet. When I woke up to this wonderland, I was so excited. Walking to the beach with my Dutch housemate, she was laughing at my exclaimations and joy from this 'normal' stuff. Now that I meantioned the beach, here's the thing that I can't wrap my head around- it snows at the beach!! I never imagined that it would be cold enough at the beach for there to be snow. But when we reached the beach, there was a field of snow on top of the sand! I guess it makes sense that if it's cold enough to snow in Den Haag, a seaside city, then it would snow at the beach. I just think of warmth when I think of the beach, and snow only happens when it's really cold.

Water, sand and snow! Me at the snowy beach. 

So today was the first snow for the season. I'm looking forward to much more snow and seeing this lovely white powder all over the place in the future! Snow makes winter (and the cold) worthwhile.
