Story Starter: First Sentence Snow Writing Prompt

I often find writing prompts when outdoors. That's where I found today's prompt as we experienced a rare snowfall in north Georgia. Schools closed at 11:30 and not a snowflake had fallen. In the afternoon, I went out for my afternoon walk and tiny light flurries started to fall and before I'd walked two miles the flurries transformed to heavy, wet flakes falling lazily to blanket the ground. As they hit the street, they melted, but snow quickly painted a light fluffy film across the grass. I felt like I was in a snow globe. It was one of those magical times. Things even sounded different, quieter. But unexpected snow also throws a wrench in the everyday comings and goings in the south. That thought inspired today's writing prompt.
