Snow!!

Snow!!! Easily my favorite form of weather, and it has arrived at App State University!

Sadly for me, I'm not there. I'm in Boston, which I thought would get snow first. Clearly I was misinformed. I got no less than 4 text messages from various friends back home that it had snowed on them first when all I got were gale force winds and rain. Yet again, the South wins, I suppose.

I have been unimpressed with the weather in New England so far. I keep hearing about how 'savage' it is, how there are unbelievable amounts of snow, how winter comes soon and stays late. I have seen zero of that. All in all, I've found it to be milder than it is at home. Summer is cooler and less humid, Autumn is pretty much the same, and apparently Winter hits first at home. I think that is just Yankee propaganda, spread just for the sheer joy they seem to find in spreading lies.

Anyway, aside from the lack of snowfall, it has been a good week. I made a few changes to my bike, got to play around on it a lot, got some sweet unexpected compliments from some chicks about said bike and myself, and haven't done anything painfully stupid yet. Not sure how long that last one is going to stand, but when it falls, hopefully it will at least be fun.

Rock on America, rock on.
