But not cold enough for what I really want which is SNOW. Proper, fluffy, storybook snow that falls gracefully from the sky like it has one mission in life to make everything look magical and me happy..
Right now, the weather is giving “permanently chilly inconvenience” instead of “winter wonderland.”
It’s cold enough to make me shiver, cold enough to make my hands freeze, but apparently not cold enough for a single snowflake to commit to my cause.
I want to wake up, pull open the curtains, and see the world transformed, rooftops frosted, streets powdered, silence hanging in the air like the world pressed pause just to look pretty.
I want that soft crunch under my boots. I want breath clouds floating in front of me when I breathe.
I want that childlike moment where you forget you’re an adult with responsibilities and just stand there thinking, It’s snowing… it’s actually snowing.
I’m craving the magic, the brightness, the way snowfall somehow makes the world feel lighter.
So yes baby it’s cold outside…
Now can the sky just give me the snow I’ve been dreaming about?
