i had been told countless horror stories of its impending arrival.
i just didn't really know the true extent of its wrath.
as in, january in chicago.
when it's too cold to snow, that's when it's bad. if i step out my front door into flurry of big fluffy snowflakes, i seem to forget that it's freezing out. i adopt the excitement of a six year old and have to command every muscle in my body to contain my urge to make a snow angel in the empty parking lot next to my building.
this is going to be a trying time on my appendages. my cheeks and tip of my nose and eyelids will hate me, my fingers will curse my gloves for not working overtime. when i inhale its like my lungs will freeze solid from the air inside them.
au revoir simone - fallen snow
wait, it gets better!

i thought my eyelids were going to freeze and peel off.
and now i think i have a cold :(
It's winter here in ILLINOIS
and gentle breezes blow
at seventy-seven miles per hour
and twenty-five below
Oh, how I do love ILLINOIS
when snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
and your nose gets frozen shut
The weather here is wonderful
I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave ILLINOIS
'cause I'm frozen to the ground!
