First Snow of the Season

Today was the first snow of the season. It was beautiful when I was driving in this morning. The snow was swirling around and it made me want to spin and spin around the flakes. But, the roads were icy, the air was cold, the sidewalks were slick. Progression of the storm along with the cold weather made the driving worse, the schools close early, and the after school activities shut down for the afternoon/evening.
Beauty comes in many different ways...............
  • It can be the season swirling flakes around you as you walk down the street.
  • It can be the warmth you feel inside your house, even though the outside is cold & windy.
  • It can be the excitement of a 2-hour delay or snow day for the kids when the schools can't handle what the weather has decided to deposit upon their lands.

Let's appreciate the "swirling now" part of the day. Ignore the accidents, cancellations, and mass delays due to traffic which guided the day.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow..........................

Do you remember how excited we were as kids to be moving to Sweden? We exclaimed to our parents "Think of all the snow days!" And they just laughed.
And then we moved there and Stockholm had the worst, snowiest winter in a decade and the Swedes laughed at the concept of snow day.
