A Real Snow Day

I woke up this morning, looked out the window, and everything was white! Snow - real snow! Now if something like this happens in Texas (which in never really does), everything would shut down. People would lock the doors, board up the windows, pull out the canned goods, and take off of work/school for a week. Here, everything went on as normal. People were even out jogging with their dogs! So I pulled out my spatula (primarily used to flip pancakes), scraped the snow off of my windshield, and crept down the road to work. Several times today, I caught myself staring out the window mesmerized by the snow. This is something I'll have to get used to.
