What a change! This morning when I woke up, I noticed a light layer of snow had fallen during the night. I noticed the temperature was a slight bit warmer than yesterday, but not by much. This afternoon when I left my field experience assignment, it was raining outside. I thought this was very weird because I didn't remember seeing any rain shower forecasts. In any event, it was warming up. After my afternoon class, I walked outside and my jaw dropped. Complete snow coverage. I wasn't even aware that it had been snowing. I began brushing off my car, and noticed that it was nice sticky snow; perfect for making snowballs. Too bad I had no one to throw them at. Driving home from running some errands, I noticed two girls walking toward "town." I pulled over and saw that it was two Asian girls that are dorm students at LI. I offered them a ride since it was freezing outside. They gladly accepted and I brought them to LI. I couldn't believe the clothes they were wearing. They had on light spring jackets (not zipped up) and sneakers. No hats, no gloves. I made sure to tell them to get proper gear before going out again. However, this snow may end within a few days. Looking at the forecast for this weekend, Saturday is only supposed to have a few flurries, and Sunday is supposed to be mostly sunny with a high of 40*F. But for now, it looks like tonight and tomorrow will be full of snow. So get out there and make yourself a snowman!
