It is hard to remember what the ground looks like.....
it has been covered by snow since the end of October!
So....my motto for living in snow country has become -
"love it or leave it"
We snow shoe, and ski and enjoy the beauty of the
covered hillsides....(and try not to complain about
the cold temp's, slippery roads and salt covered
vehicles!)
This winter, I have noticed the many different
personalities of snow - maybe a better word
would be, characteristics of snow.
You see, sometimes the snow blows across the
landscape like grains of sand. Other times,
the snow appears sponge-like and has the
strangest appearance. My favorite snow
is the snow that appears to sparkle like a
billion diamonds....
This morning, an unusal fog rolled through
our area and since it was so cold (8 degrees)
it stuck to the trees and coated them with a
white frost-like sparkle. VERY beautiful -
that is, if you like snow!
So my southern friends, even though
you have no snow, please know
that there is some pleasure for us
northerners amidst the ongoing battle
of winter in CNY!
