SNOW DAY

I am having a snow day. Are you having a snow day? Do you even have snow? I'm in the Middle East!


Yesterday the forecast literally was for sandstorms.  (Violent, windy, no visability sandstorms...) But today... Slushy, rainy, nasty snow.  And before you think, snow? Please, what like, a centimeter of dust?  Let me say, this is just like home. And that makes me quite upset because I was quite thrilled not having any winter weather.  It can stay in Michigan.  I loved that it was still in the high 60s.  LOVED IT.  Now... well, I have no clothes for this.  Grrrr.


This is the view from our taxi this morning.  He was very clear that we were crazy to go to school and that it was closed  and that the road might be too.  He was right. 

So the streets are flooded. And its crazy.  And you can't get anywhere. And my shoes are completely soaked. Bc we had to cross a lake to get to a cafe. A LAKE. Its like a high of 40* today, so we'll see how the day turns out. But it started really cold and wet.  Maybe you can tell I have a huge pet peve about having wet feet...But I get out of an exam i'm not gonna study for, and I lose a class I really wanted to go to, so I didn't have to study as much... So I'm actually really disappointed in the snow day. 

But who else gets to say they had a snowday in Amman?
