Snow Falling on Seki

Wednesday we were warned of impending snow. According to reports, we were due for a whopping 30 cm. When I came out of my last class at 6:40 in a neighbouring city, there was a note telling me that I would have to wait for someone to drive me home. I looked out the window, and sure enough there was heavy snow falling, and the street was mostly covered. This meant that I couldn't drive myself home? Apparently, the rest of the classes for the day had been cancelled, and since I don't have snow or studless tires on the little k-car I drive I would be escorted home. As it turned out, this was a good thing, the roads were extremely slippery and there were accidents all over the place. My employer whizzed me around in his SUV and we arrived safely in Seki where Jolayne had already gone home and was enjoying a cozy candlelight coffee, watching the snow falling. The next morning snow continued to fall and we enjoyed the sight, once again, of the gardens and homes blanketed in white.
