It all started a couple of days ago.
Early morning, my alarm clock went on and I switched on my mobile. I was not happy about it, but I know I cannot spend the whole day in bed.
Few seconds later the sound of a text message. “Show?” Yes. “Open?” Yes. “Salaam, it is SNOWING”.
I got up and had a look from my window.
My friend was right: thick white flakes of snow were coming down from the sky.
Usually snow has a relaxing effect: you look at it coming down, it covers everything with its white colour and you feel an overwhelming sense of peace. Silence reigns. That morning though, I had quite a different feeling. The wind was pushing and pulling those poor immaculate flakes with such violence that they were flinging at the soil rather than resting gently.
It was freezing, of course.
I took my mobile and replied to the message: “I may stay in bed a little longer then..”
And that is exactly what I did.

This morning, when I woke up everything was covered with 15 cm of snow. And it was still snowing. According to the weather forecast tomorrow will be even worse. I keep my fingers crossed for a lot of snow. So I will stay in bed a little longer tomorrow morning too.
