Snow


This past Friday, it snowed in Cagliari for the first time in around 17 years. It was such a big deal that teachers were releasing their classes so that the students could go outside and "enjoy" the snow (it all melted the moment it touched it ground). There certainly wasn't a need for snow plows or anything but it was cause for celebration for everyone else. I just nodded my head and said "yep, that's cool", as we are more than used to snow in South Dakota. Ten minutes later the students came back in complaining about how cold the snow was. Shocker. Not so great is it? Turns out there was a lot more snow up in the mountains so my host family wanted to drive up and see it.

  1. Well, that's just super-neat! That's a long time between snowfalls! I think it would be fun to be around people who rarely see snow to see how they react! I think you should bring some Cagliarians home with you to experience it on a regular basis. It's been cold for too long here. I'm ready for warm weather! Aunt Eileen
