SNOW

FINALLY

Man I've been waiting for snow, like snow-ass SNOW for a loooong time; the forecast didn't have any on it (unlike last week when it said 2-3" and we got sleet) so I was pretty surprised to find a goddamn winter wonderland this morning when I got up with it still actively snowing for a few hours.

Please enjoy some snow photos and gifs.

(Sidenote: if anyone has good tips for gif filesize reduction that doesn't shrink to a postage stamp or turn all the colors into a Gameboy color palette they'd be much appreciated; I'm trying to keep file size down for loading purposes and it's been rough. I'm not sure if .apng is the way to go but it looks promising)
