if you thought the new england winter was synonymous with snow, you better think again. the last time we had snow was the start of february (super bowl sunday actually), and even then it wasn't too much, just enough to frost the landscape a little bit, the roads and sidewalks staying relatively dry. today was the same, by tomorrow most of the snow will be gone. but for today, it was snowing finally, with just a few more days left before winter officially ends and spring official begins. all i wanted to do when i saw that snow came down was to run outside and spinning round and round, getting snowflakes in my eyelashes, in my hair, in my nose, on my beard. oh, and also to take photos, a freshly snowed landscape is a beautiful sight to behold.

other than the snow, today was a bad day. since our mandatory monday morning meetings will be on wednesday mornings from now on, it throws a wrench into the work week. how so? i miss seeing everyone on monday mornings. everyone arrives late and groggy, people are discussing what they did this past weekend, there's this warm fuzzy feeling. now we don't have that anymore. can we splinter the company even more? the only people i saw today were the people upstairs (and everybody was so busy anyway), and the few downstairs people who came up for work related business. i shouldn't really care, right? what difference does it make for me whether i see all my coworkers at the start of the week, right? i don't know, it just does. the week feels empty now. it got so depressing, i wrote an e-mail to myself with this cryptic message, "unless somehow you die tonight, there's always tomorrow." i'm so motivational!

for lunch i went out just to get some snow, no particular destination in mind. i ended up at max's and getting a medium gumbo. i walked as slow as possible, to really stretch out my lunchtime commute, because that instantly became the highlight of a dreary day.

after work i grabbed my camera and began shooting, from kendall square all the way to harvard square. even though it was snowing, i could already feel the approach of spring. it was still daylight outside, normally it'd be dark.
