Most definitely. And dry, cold weather and firmly frozen ground, after November had turned our garden into something resembling a Vietnamese rice field - you could almost surf in the mud.

I love the snow and the rain. We already had one snow day here in New York. As of now we have lots of ice all over the place that is slowly melting.

I assign the movie Avatar. I got to see it tonight at the Directors Guild Theater in NYC and it is amazing. Cameron did a great job. The script is excellent and the special effects are awesome.

Best I have done was making up a word. I think it was quzia. No one realized I had not spelled quiz until later in the game at which point it was too late for me to change my word. I hate scramble, in fact I hate almost every board game. Well I don't hate chess and I only kind of hate monopoly but still.

I assign firstly being able to assign things to the Shire for the first time in a long while.
And secondly, having the temperature being over freezing, so I didn't have to wear a jacket today! ![]()

It is wonderful! We went out shopping and such. Everyday since Saturday, it was bloody cold until today. We still went shopping, but I took off my ski jacket the first place that we went to because there was a warm breeze. It was amazing, and quite a surprise.

Hibernation, of course. Haven't you ever watched nature documentaries? Everything in Alaska hibernates, including the sun.

That's not cold. I don't think anyone from southcentral Alaska has ever been in the 'cold'. You'd have to go up to Fairbanks or some such place.

I suppose you must just get used to the constant below-freezing temperatures in winter after a while.

I mean, tomorrow's high here is supposed to be -6 C, with snow. Today's high was around -7 C. And while it's cold, I don't consider it really cold until it hits -26 C. I'm totally with them: if it had been above freezing, I'd have been wearing a light jacket.

I finally got The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún this Christmas! Yay! Though it costs over a thousand pesos, I used all my savings, plus five hundred from my brother, because I just couldn't let it pass. And I couldn't wait for the softcover edition, which was what I did with Children of Húrin.
Also, I found a copy of Ibsen's major plays and The Little Book of Matisse in a second-hand bookshop, for just less than fifty each! ![]()

For once, sparcely inhabited towns. Since mine was the only school in my district to try the Poetry Out Loud competition, I get to skip regionals and go straight to state!

Snow!
There's incredible lots of it here, on the roadsides you can find piles taller than me and all the tree branches are white all over. It's so beautiful! And besides, they say you can go walk on the sea now, the ice is solid enough. Gotta try that as soon as I finish my first BD check in two weeks! *loves proper Finnish winter*

Triage.
I love me my triage. As I was saying to Nienna last night - it was either her or Boro... then again, maybe it was my brother or cousin? - if you aren't bleeding, none of your bones are broken, you're not running a dangerous fever, you can breathe, you're not in labor, and none of your organs are failing, then you can suck it up and wait a few hours.

I assign 409. It smells awful in large quantities, but it shortened the time spent on scraping the carmalized apple chunks off of a random guy's fridge shelf from days to hours. Plus, it doesn't react horrible with Comet, which ended up being a Good Thing.

Being in one piece . Thanks to a small miracle or a lot of luck.
Working even for a little while somewhere I really love.

Thick squishy plush wool socks. Dogs that get visibly embarrassed when you manage to ninja your way into the house without them noticing. Having a job you like with coworkers that like you. Remembering why you were in love with someone, even if you don't love them any more. Sweet potatoes. Cheesy broccoli. Generous people.
Good days.

At a birthday party earlier today, I played about five rounds of RL Mafia. I narrated the first game. It was an epic fail, because I accidentally used the last Mafia's name in the Night Kill narration.
