rating oh, whiteness, where art thou? [dec 19 2002, 18:05]

if i take a look at my calendar, i can see that it's thursday, december 19th. nothing special here.
if i take a closer look at the thermometer, i can clearly see that it's a little below zero. -1,1°C. nothing special here, too.
if i take a really close look at the clouds outside (okay, if i took a really close look at the clouds outside before it became too dark to see them), i can definitely see that they are all grey. completely grey. the whole sky is hanging full of them. nothing special here, either.

now conclude the facts: five days until christmas, temperature below zero, grey clouds - there's something missing. something that makes walking around in the landscape a lot more beautiful. something that prevents a lot of people from getting outside at all. okay, some people. only few. all right, almost nobody would stay inside if there was snow coming! nobody. including me.
but because not a single snowflake has found its way down to us in this winter, i'm still sitting inside, waiting for the landscape to be coated in white. *sigh*
