Snow!!
We have snow in Bangor! Dude, and they said it never snowed here. At least it hadn't in several years - I obviously chose just the right time to come here :)
We did drive in to Menai Bridge this morning, just b/c we didn't think we'd be able to get out of the lab stuff we had to do - I couldn't believe Marie's little car got us there, but the light weight must've been in our favor, b/c we made it up the ramp to the A55 while all the heavy vehicles around us couldn't get any traction. The gritters hadn't even been out yet we got there with no trouble at all.
Anyway, despite everyone coming in anyway, neither of the profs supervising this module did so the safety officer told us we weren't allowed to do any work. Despite us telling him we'd been on our own for most of the past two weeks anyway. So we had an impromptu snowball fight in the parking lot instead. I got thoroughly pelted with snow and did some pelting of my own. It was more fun than I've had in weeks.
Afterwards we went for a walk along the Strait and to Church Island, then dropped by the bakery for some hot chocolate. I had planned to come home and read for my lit review, but lunch, a nap and lots of poking around Snopes.com later (urban legends are fascinating, I tell you), I haven't actually done much reading. Oh well.
Pics of snow (not many of the actual fight b/c I was too busy lobbing snowballs) are up in my photobucket album. Other pics of our day at the Bangor Pier are up the international students album.
Hm, I need a proper winter icon.

...That looks like more snow than what's here. Which is kind of sad.

It's not very deep, but still, more snow than I've seen in a long time. So cool!

And more snow than we have. We'd be lucky if we had a quarter of an inch out there. *Sighs.* What an icky winter.

Glad you are having fun in between the work and study.
