If only it would snow at 20°C!

Winter arrived and I was really happy it came. After all, this is my first ever winter in my life!.
Yeah rite, I spent the first 24 years of my life in a city where the lowest temperature in
'winter' , if you could call it that, is 24deg. (Thats 75Deg Fahrenheit for the metric challenged :-))
So I was happy and eagerly awaiting for my first snow!!.
Snow came not once, but more than 5 times and it was a really good experience.
It was a wonderful sight to see the cars and the grass covered entirely with snow. It was really awesome.
I even got it recorded in my new Hybrid camera.

But here is the Sad part...

This almost freezing temperature is keeping me indoors in the comfort (read as 'artificially generated heat') of my apartment/Office.
And there is no fun to walk out side your apartment at 3:30 PM and see the sun going down. (What am I supposed to do the rest of my day??).
And the worst part is that I hate to dress up like an Eskimo every time I have to get out of my office/apartment.
(Sometimes even to go to a different building in my office!!)

The snow is good but the temperature is a drag.
And it seems there is no end in sight to winter at the moment!.

How great would be, if we had snow at a much warmer weather!!.
And for a change Chennai weather seems to be better.


P.S:
I did learn that in my 5th grade that it can snow only when its 0 deg. But how great would it be if it were otherwise!!
