We have had a fairly snowy winter so far, as those of you with long driveways can attest. So far we have gotten about 37 inches, which is the usual average we reach by the end of February. And often we have snow for two days, it melts and leaves. But not this year! So don't put the shovels away yet.
Seeing all the snow makes me think a lot of totally random and often contradictory thoughts.
1. Learn how to use the snow blower. Duh!
2. Clean out the garage so I can park in it. Double duh! (today my windshield wipers were frozen and I prayed I wouldn't need them on the way to drop the girls off at school).
3. I need wider boots or thinner calves so I can stuff my pants inside my boots.
4. Snow on the trees is one of the prettiest and most amazing views I can see out my window.
6. Sun shining on the snow in the trees is even prettier and more amazing.
7. I love my Subaru in the snow. It's way more stable and has better handling than my 4 wd suv did. I look for snow to drive through!
7. I still like winter.
I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune about the last one come February. But for now, it's a sunny clear and crisp (well, really cold) day. And I'll try to take a few peeks out the window.

Umm.....I totally agree about the beauty of fresh fallen snow, and actually don't even mind the weather when it is snowing nice big fluffy flakes, but this....well...this coldness, I can do without. St. Lucia is calling my name.
