LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW

Hey there everybody. Things are going pretty sweet here in Germany. The winter is now in full swing. It has finally snowed in Frankfurt. My companion and I were buying tickets at the local Bahnhof(trainstation) this morning, when we looked out the window and were surprised to see know falling. Last years winter was incredibly warm, and we never saw any snow :C. I was kinda expecting the same this year, despite all the rumors of it being a harder winter. As we started getting into December it started looking that way too. Nothing..when there were clouds it was too warm for snow, and then when it was cold enough, it was because there were no clouds. Anywho, about a week ago we woke up to a blanket of snow carpeting our town of Hoechst. Naturally we were estatic, and immedietly snowball fights commenced.

The Week of Christmas was filled with heavy fighting on all fronts. Everynight the heavens would replenish our ammo supplies with cold Manna, and bright and as soon as any head poked itself outside it was liable to get a snowball upside the head. The fighting had to be the heaviest on Christmas, and Christmas Eve, due to the somewhat heavier snow fall the night before, and the somewhat increased moral(and energy) of the troops. Walking from appointment to appointment took about twice as long, and every soldier took at least 10 hits to the back(the enemy likes to hit you when you're walking away). The fighting came to one a climax on Wednesday the 26th. When Elders Hartvigsen, and Thomas were returning from a late night trip to the office. As they pulled up to the apartment, and began to get out they were immedietly set upon by Elders Farr, and Johnson(who had returned home early to "pack"). They'd developed a good supply of ammo located in their fortified position(balcony). Elder Thomas took an ice ball to the knee immedietly after opening the door. Elder Hartvigsen, used his advantage of being on the other side of the car to run to the back door and threw up the trunk hatch as a blast shield. He was joined soon by Elder Thomas who then using their cover, were able to set up a return fire. After the enemy was running low on ammo, Elder Thomas was able to place enough cover fire to allow Elder Hartvigsen to make a break for the door. Where he was able to lay down some more fire for Elder Thomas to make his break for the door. After storming the Fortress, Elders Thomas, and Hartvigsen made it to the front door where they then were met by Broom wielding Elders, and after a couple minutes of wrestling were finally able to rest. The next day the winter magic began to fade, and Elder Johnson went home. The snow soon melted, and life turned back into the dull hum drum of Office life, but this moment of Devolution shall ever be remembered, when four twenty year old men managed to be 5 again for a week.

You would have faired well in Detroit my young Jedi! Many a snowfalls for months on end! The bike riding gets a bit tricky in 1 foot of snow, but plenty of your so called, "Ammo" waiting to be collected.

We have snowball fights here in Hawaii too. They just happen to be made out of paper and take place during the half-time of the mens basketball games. But your sound funner.

Ok,so it took me three hundred times before I reset my password and could comment on your most awesome, outstanding,descriptive blog. I still think you should be an author even if it's just for fun.
I'm glad you got snow and I'm glad you enjoy snowball fights. I enjoy them too, especially if I'm the only one with snowballs. Throw one for me (not at me!!)
