See, it DOES snow in Plymouth!

As you can tell from my title, we have finally had the first snow in a long time down here - or so I'm told, though this is certainly my first proper snow since coming here. While getting down to some research this morning for my dissertation, it began to really come down: small flakes at first, just a light dusting, then more and more until the ground and rooftops were fully coated like icing sugar. Then the wind started whipping it up until it looked like a blizzard. I knew I'd have to be going out in it later for my dissertation meeting - and it did cross my mind that my supervisor might not be able to make it into uni on time/at all - but I was just feeling so cosy in my room that it didn't bother me too much. Of course, once I left, I felt the brisk chill of the air and was thankful for my thick fluffy hood. But yes, at my supervisor's office, I got no response and so headed back home, to also learn that tonight's performance of Beowulf - of which I would be paid to usher - would not be going ahead because of the weather.
You see, when you're younger, all you want is to have snow days so you can stay home and have snow ball fights, make snow men, and generally not worry about school again until the next day - or the next few days if it's a Friday. But for uni students, missing out on class can be a bit more of a detriment than a blessing as those lessons/meetings are vital to us (though fortunately the weather hasn't done much more than postponed an advice session and deprived me of about £18).
So the rest of my day has been eating pesto-courgette-broccoli-chicken spaghetti and reading up on tips for good feature writing intros.
Now, with an almost-finished wine glass of gin and tonic to hand, and the wind wailing through my window seal like a curious ghost, I am left wondering how to fill the rest of my evening. I could run a late bath (skipping the need for a shower in the morning and giving myself more time to work), do some colouring of my gorgeous animal book, watch Netflix/YouTube, or prep for an early night... I guess we'll just see how things go.
