Snow Day

Today it's snowing very hard in Coquitlam. It reminds me of the snowstorms we used to have in Ontario. It's a very nice packing snow, and so I couldn't resist the temptation to build a snowman despite how busy I am. In order to be economical with my time, I opted to make a miniature snowman, no taller than about half a meter. This was also partially to demonstrate how good the packing snow was.

Now all my friends are posting to Facebook their hopes that tomorrow will be a snow day at school. Snow days at SFU are pretty common, because the University is situated at the top of a mountain; even the slightest amount of snowfall can make the roads too slippery for the buses to get up there. It's also pretty common for people to get stranded at SFU while the roads are too slippery. Luckily this has never happened to me before, but I try to take the bare necessities in case I wind up stuck there overnight sometime. As for today, the snow doesn't really affect me, and I will continue doing my assignments and playing games unhindered.
