Came outside yesterday morning to a winter wonderland. 3-5 inches of fluffy snow had come down during the night. The feathery snow blew off my windshield in a whoosh as I headed into a morning meeting. People in town (not all) were excited by the beauty and the skiing opportunities. Winter can be difficult in the north country, but days like yesterday are a gift.
I weathered some merry snow storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fire-side, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed.
