It snowed yesterday. SNOWED! October 11. Well, I don’t know if a meteorologist would call what fell from the sky snow, but it was white, and it didn’t look like sleet.
And I suppose Iowans, by nature, are always ready for this weather, especially in the fall. Spring’s the same way. Cold, windy, and gray one day, sunny and hot the next. Summers are just full of long, steamy days, and winters are simply short blips of freezing, clear sunlight between long stretches of still, numbing darkness.
Word is we’re in for a mild winter this year. I hope that’s true. It would be nice, however, if we got a couple heavy snowfalls, just so Ava gets a good taste of the white stuff. What’s a childhood without snow? I’ve never understood these Californians…
