Frostbitten :)

When I went downstairs to toast a bagel before class this morning, I looked out the window, only to find every single treetop sparkling white.  It hadn't snowed.  (I figure we'll probably get a huge blizzard in May or something.  That's the price we'll pay for such warm weather in February.)  The trees were covered in frost!  It was really beautiful.  So what did I do?  I took pictures, just for you.

These are a few of the trees right outside my building.

Check that out!  You can see a whole bunch of shimmering trees in the background.

Now that we've all admired how pretty the trees are, let's take a look at a few things in this last picture, shall we?  First, have a look at the speed limit sign.  That's a whopping 25 miles per hour.  However, most people who drive down this street are going much faster than 25.  More like...45.  But hey, why not?

Now let's check out those apartments in the background.  I've been in there once, and they're nice!  I'd love to live there someday.  However, they probably cost quite a bit more than the little box of a room I'm living in now.  So I think we'll stick with the dorms for a while.  :)

Finally, notice the jungle gym right in the middle of this picture.  Nothing spectacular, but it's a decent playground.  In fact, I have a great view of it from my window!  Now, there are two types of people who hang out at this jungle gym: small children with their parents, and sketchy teenagers.  I prefer the small children, quite honestly.  

The frost on the trees is long gone by this time of day, but it was lovely while it lasted.  I'm hoping it'll stay this warm here in Sioux City so I won't have to break out my winter coat again.  The weatherman always seems to be predicting snow, but we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it.
