For the past of couple of days, BYU campus has been experiencing cooler and wetter weather as the transition from hot summers is finally feeling more like fall. I would agree with anyone that it has been extremely nice to be able to chill in the refreshing cooler weather as rain occasionally drenches students while they run to their classes. Not only has the rain been able to make life feel a little more invigorating, but has anyone noticed what has been slowly crawly on top of the mountains for the past few days? Yep, snow!
Behind the twirling clouds in the mountains you can see on the peaks snow that will eventually make its way down to the valley. The glazed snow on mountain tops are usually a typical sight to see during this time of season, but it still may come to a shock for those not accustomed snowy weather. Those that have moved from a comfortable warm climate could see this as either a blessing to finally blow off the dust from their snowboards and skies, or it could mean that it is time to choose a different location to receive an education. It is personally amazing to see snow coming during fall season that helps us get all riled up for the incoming winter.
Snow is an amazing sight to see as it calmly comes down from the glazed white sky above. It is pleasant to sit back to see the scenery turn white as Christmas songs come to mind while nestled in warm clothing. Snow on the mountain top as trees below the timberline turn bright colors of orange and yellow help remember students that it is still the fall season. Right now, the mountains both show evidence of both seasons that will come in the upcoming months.
Snow will be something to look forward to as it stands as a reminder that there will be fun opportunities to come. Whether you are ecstatic to see snow during this time of season or not, you could agree that the mesmerized scenery looking down on BYU campus is something that can't be seen everywhere on earth.
Are you really that excited for it to snow? I come from an area where snow means no school because our city does not have snow plows or any means of responding to snow; it is THAT rare. When it snows I can't say I will be happily watching it fall. I hear it snows for months and I am not a fan of cold so this winter will be... interesting.
ReplyDeleteI pity all the warm climate students... they have no idea what they are in for. Four of my roommates are from California so I can't wait to see how they deal with Utah winters. As for me, well I picked Provo for its mild weather. In Canada winters are far, far worse. Its cold and windy with cold snaps of -40 degree weather up until the end of May/ beginning of June... yep I'm excited for a relatively warm winter this year.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your description, and could truly see your excitement for snow...unfortunately I cannot share your excitement. Snow has been something I have hated since I moved to Utah. I have never been able to enjoy the cold, wetness of it. I've never been skiing since living here! I know, live in Utah and never been skiing? I'm sorry, I simply cannot share the excitement you feel at this approaching winter. But, I really did like your description! Good job! ;):)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love snow. I'm from Reno, but I practically grew up in Tahoe. I love to ski and go sledding and snowshoe and go snowcaving. It is wonderful. My family has a cabin in Northern CA, and every winter it snows about 8 feet. We have to snowmobile to get anywhere, and it is AMAZING! We ride all over the place and around the lake and up mountains and it is just so wonderful. I am so excited for the snow to come!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the sight of snow on these mountains that surround us is incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately I also am not a huge fan of the cold. I like snow for about a month; then I start looking forward to summer again. But snow is definitely a beautiful sight.
