thrilling

We've had a couple of days of fairly seasonable temperatures. On Saturday morning I went into the kitchen, and saw snow swirling around in the back. It was honestly thrilling. Went out to do the usual grocery shopping, and there was the unmistakable feel of snow in the air. As a California boy who grew up in the Bay Area, I was surprised at how excited I got about having a little wintry weather. Unfortunately it hasn't lasted. The snow is gone, and temperatures are supposed to be in the 50's and 60's through Christmas.
