Snow!

The first big snowfall in Boston this winter has just started. We're expecting 8-11 inches today and another foot or so on Sunday. My getting-out-of-the-house inertia increases by several orders of magnitude every time the skies precipitate, and the coming days' copious snowfall has already pushed my inertia to infinity. I'm looking forward to watching movies, drinking lots of hot chocolate, and most importantly playing in the snow! In fact, Lawrence has just gotten home from lab early and already wants to frolic through the two inches of snow that have already fallen. The excitement of the first snowfall reminds me why I love living through the four seasons of the Northeast.
