I always love the first substantial snow fall of the year. The world is so still and peaceful. Everything looks beautiful covered in a think blanket of white. I feel like I'm in my own private snow globe, warm and safe inside gazing out at world that seems so ethereal as the snowflakes undulate and dance in the air.
Hot cocoa and bad TV is always in order. Once the heaviest of the snow has passed, venturing out for a walk reveals the beauty in even the most mundane, unappealing aspects of any neighborhood.
I can't help it, snow speaks to my inner child (which i love and nurture and indulge as much as is possible) on some visceral level.
And I know the reality of snow isn't so pretty. The slush, the shoveling, the cold, the dangerous driving conditions, etc etc.....But for a moment, just one moment, everything is about as close to perfect as I've ever experienced.
