It's snowing in Charlottesville right now. They say it might get up to 3 inches. I wish it had started earlier because then I could be safe and snug at home. (My work has a rather lenient snow policy.) Sadly the snow waited to start at 10 so now I'm stuck at work dreading the drive home. I do NOT know how to drive in the snow. The only time I lived where it snowed I was either too young to drive (Maryland) or didn't own a car (Utah).
Still, I like the snow. It feels magical. When it starts to snow I get this irrational hope that I've been transported to the land of Narnia, and I'll be able to spend my afternoon talking to beavers and drinking tea with a faun. That's probably because the BBC Narnia movies were the most snow I got to see growing up in SC.

yeah, I'd have to say Narnia has never come to mind for me when it snowed. Sometimes I have flashbacks to the awesome moon boots we wore as kids when we lived in Spokane. At least they were a step up from the bread bags rubberbanded over the top of our shoes and pants when we lived in Vancouver.
I would have to think of the one time I had a snow day in Lexington, SC. It was AWESOME!! I got off of school and everything. Snow makes me think of the Snow Day in To Kill a Mockingbird.
