I was wrong, however, and tried my best to copy my Swedish compatriots by biking to class. Crazy!<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you're having fun. That's wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449366.post-82602660141161613412007-01-28T11:01:00.000-08:002007-01-28T11:01:00.000-08:00Sounds like NJ!

Also, a scarf is a big help because you can wrap most of your face and head when it is snowing.<br /><br />Miss you lots.

I don't watch American News here in California, because the news people get me so worked up with their drama around the weather. (grim, serious, dramatic voice: "LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN FOR MORE RAIN (RAIN!!!!!) IN THE NEXT DAYS * STAY TUNED * WE'LL KEEP YOU COVERED" as if it's a national crisis. I miss the snow! Enjoy it for us. Boots, scarf, mittens! And you need to befriend the elements. How about stopping on your way to work and making a nice snow angel in a suburban front yard?

I also recomend mittens or gloves so when you do have a fall your hands won't suffer so much, and you won't be afraid to catch yourself on the closest icy item in reach.Navy Blue Cardiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313358120730226850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449366.post-23175755956176913652007-01-24T14:25:00.000-08:002007-01-24T14:25:00.000-08:00Get some Uggs, or equivalent boots, something that...Get some Uggs, or equivalent boots, something that keeps your feet warm and dry, with good traction on the bottoms. My friends here still wear their sexy heels, whereas I feel I am much more practical in my flats or boots. Walking in the snow isn’t so bad, but watch out for the ice. The other day I walked to Campbell and Thayden’s because I didn’t feel like deicing a half an inch of ice off my car. It was very slippery, but I managed without falling. The whole time I was walking I was looking at my feet.<br /><br />I remember the first winter I was here in DC, I fell really hard on ice after having a few drinks, which was the last time I wore “cute” shoes out in the winter. My wrist still hurts sometimes from that fall in Georgetown.<br /><br />The snow is fun to watch and I love how it land on tree branches. The silence is amazing. Commuting in it sucks. I guess be glad you don’t have to drive in it.<br /><br />I miss you!AllisonDaciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488141581562683465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449366.post-57644514860869083742007-01-24T14:15:00.000-08:002007-01-24T14:15:00.000-08:00Wear your shoes with the best tred, and walk as sl...Wear your shoes with the best tred, and walk as slowly as you need to to feel in control. <br /><br />So Nifty, Oh Wow!Julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075537123043560936noreply@blogger.com
