It’s 2PM and I’m still in my PJs, but it’s okay, because it's SNOWING! For the first time in about five years, Rome is getting snow, and lots of it. It started last night, with freezing rain that intermittently became snow. It was almost as if time was slowing down and speeding up, as the water fell quickly and then suddenly began to glide to the ground. I wished I’d brought my North Face, complete with somewhere around fifty dead birds inside of it. My hair, wet from the rain, froze into one messy icicle. Sufficed to say, the radiator and I are enjoying the view from my cozy living room today. I guess I forgot how mesmerizing snow is, because I’ve can’t stop staring out the window. The flakes are falling in pre-made snowball form, so I just might have to gear up and chase the storm.
I have train tickets booked to Siena tomorrow and I’m really hoping the minivan/Crayola Crayon gods are on my side, because I’d hate to be snowed in. All trains are cancelled for today, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Looks like I might need to pack a blow dryer to melt the snow on those Siena colored hills…
