Snowfall in Seattle

I barely kept the phone down in excitement and ran to the balcony door. Shoving the curtain aside I could see through the glass doors that it was true... it was snowing outside!

Tiny white crystals raining down from the heavens shrouding all that was around in a milky layer of the winter. It was snowing - something that I was made to believe is quite rare in this part of the country and that made this even more special. Not a bad birthday gift I guess. May be I did something to overly please Ullr, The Norse God of Snow.

It did not take us long to run outside to catch a better glimpse of the familiar surroundings of the inn - today in all new adornments and apparels of the winter. Our car was covered with snow, and so was the vegetation and buildings around. Even we were covered in snow after a little while outside. All the while, we kept our cameras flashing as it was the first snowfall for both Apurv and me and like two little kids we had our share of fun. We made snowballs and even made our very own small little snowman!
