So I stayed perched by the window all day yesterday looking for snow in Evanston that did not come. I waited and watched the cold, miserable rain fall, but there was no snow. When you come from an area where it doesn’t snow, ever, the prospect of seeing your first snowfall in 9 years is a pretty neat thing. Alas, at 11:30 when I went to sleep there was still only cold, miserable rain. And then I woke up.
