On the 9th December, at approximately 5.30am, a magical thing happened: the phone rang.
Ok, so phones ringing aren't usually especially magical but this particular call signalled a snow day and thus bonus snoozing time!
After a few extra hours in bed, I ventured out to explore the picture-perfect landscape: New England is particularly magnficent in the snow!A fair few inches had fallen and my walk through the forest was particularly peaceful - there weren't even any other tracks in sight.
As most houses are already decorated for Christmas, the sparkly white stuff served to infuse the day with a festive air and was a welcome addition to my experience. Sadly, my colleagues weren't quite so happy as days are added to the end of the school year when a school has to close during term time. That's a cultural difference I don't think I'll be taking back!
