Snowflakes are falling on my bedhead

I feel terrible that I was sitting in a hotel room all day (to my defense, I was sick today), watching the news about it going to snow in the city this evening, and I didn't even look outside to really see that it was, indeed, snowing outside. Right outside my window, an inch of snow on everything, the same white blanket described in books. No big deal, other than the fact that it doesn't usually snow in Seattle. This climate change thing is yes, oh so alarming.
