Tender White Snow

This little town of ours turned into Winter Wonderland over night. A friend of mine does research for her master thesis in Northeast Africa. She has requested snow for over a month. Well, Ingvild: I hope can give you a taste of what it will be like to come home!
There is always something special with the first snow, and the silence that comes with it. It seems as though the world falls into this sudden lethargy. I feel quite peaceful at mind too, although I should be focused on my last exam. Just another five days and I will dive into housecleaning,  cake-baking and lots of other fun holiday activities!
Anyone out there waiting impatiently for snow?
