it's coming! it's coming!

as i was walking home tonight from the cinema with a friend of mine, and my cheeks were rosy from the temperature dropping at least ten degrees so suddenly, i realized that there was something different. there was something in the air. you know what it was? winter, i tell ya, that's what it was!
it was that oh so familiar and comforting cold scent of winter in the air with a bit of damp and a pinch of fog that always makes the nights less dark, and paints the sky a tad bit orangy. and then it occurred to me: wait a minute! could it be? could it be possible that i don't only smell winter, but there's a wee bit of snow in there too?

and then i came home and checked the weather forecast. this is what i found.

i smell snow! i smell snow! i smell snow!
it's definitely time i stuck my nose to the glass of my window and started waiting for dear old holleanyó to shake shake shake her pillow.
finally, it's that time of the year that i adore so much.

i better start knitting some more scarves. and hats. and mittens. and gloves.

ps: i hope you noticed my super awesome paint-skills in that pic.
