The morning got off to a good start: some friends who live nearby invited me out to play by throwing snowballs at my window. We pelted each other in the garden for a while, running, leaping, and hooting with excitment. This was followed by a celebratory breakfast of bacon sandwiches and fresh chocolate chip cookies. Then a few more friends arrived and the snow battles continued.
A street near my house:
The expedition departs:
The Battle of Hinksey Park:
Later in the morning, I headed into town for a couple of meetings and a photo-shoot. Business carried on as ever, but there was a festive spirit in the air. Even the Roman emperors seemed a bit less dour than usual:
The lacy trees along St. Giles:
"The view" -- my camera couldn't do it justice:
New Quad, complete with a pirate and an exquisite snow horse:
I'm tired and sore and behind on work, but this day was entirely worth it. I haven't had so much fun in ages.

Nice
Looks to me as though Ben Dyson is wearing girlie gloves in one of the pictures. Perhaps an explanation for why he's such a lousy shot...?
looks like you had lots of fun. 16 years with no snow?!? that's so crazy. Wow, so if I lived in Oxford, I would basically never remember ever having seen snow before. wow. that blows my mind.
it's snowed here twice so far, but not much. there was like a 90% chance of snow the other day, but it never showed up. I was sad cuz I like snow, but glad that I didn't have to walk to class in it. :-)
have a wonderful weekend!
