As of Friday night Glasgow is officially blanketed in snow. This morning I woke up to even more heavy snowfall and it is still coming down pretty hard! I don't think snow will ever really lose it's magic for me. Friend's tease me for being the typical Californian amazed at the snow, but it is really much more than not being used to the snow. There is something so special about what snow does to a landscape and to people. When the snow started (and by that I mean when the almost blizzard started) friday night I was at a packed pub with friends, and by the time everyone was cheering and pointing out the windows we had made friends with about 5 Scotsmen, and just walking down the street in the snow means chatting with 70% of the people you pass. Glaswegians are the nicest people I have ever met, and they surpass their own nice-ness when it snows! Here are some pictures of the first minutes of the snow--
