Yay Snow!!!
Watching an adult in their first experience with snow is always a great event. It's almost like watching a child explore a new toy but they can verbally express their amazement with you. Not many things in this world can bring back that childhood excitement.
The other night I was driving up to the Markham area and for those who don't live in Toronto, Markham is about 15-20mins drive north of downtown Toronto. In reality it's really not that far north. It was a pretty cold and rainy night and to my surprise as we drove further and further north, the weather got worse. What began as rain started to turn into snow. That was so unexpected and great at the same time. My friends didn't think it was great but for someone who hasn't seen snow in 3 years, it was pretty sweet. I don't ever remember being so excited to see snow on the rooftops of houses or snow lightly covering the cars. If that's what it's like experiencing snow for the first time, it was well worth the 3 year break.
