It's finally stopped snowing...




...for a while at least. I know I shouldn't complain, given that NY (where I'm heading towards in a couple of days - yay!) has been attacked by freezing rain and sleet in the last week.

And the snow was pretty this time - light, swirling flakes that didn't completely melt when they hit the ground. I caught a few and tried to figure out if every snowflake really is different from the others and has 6...points? They melted too quickly though. Easier to catch falling leaves in the autumn AND you have the benefit of one day of good luck the next year for each one you catch (never mind...one of those old tales that's just stayed with me).
