Snowing in October!

I just had one of the most amazing experiences ever. I walked home from the Bodleian in the snow! Yes, it is snowing. Melting as soon as it touches the ground, but still. It's coming down in big, beautiful flakes. They're caught in the yellow lamp light, twirl, dance, and die. I stepped out of the Bodleian (where I was studying) to find the courtyard empty, dark, and full of falling snowflakes. Still and magical. I grinned like an idiot the whole way home (even though my fingers almost froze off). Oxford and dancing snow. Smile. Sigh.
