let it snow!

I woke up on Wednesday morning to this view out my window:


I don't particularly like being cold, and I don't particularly like wading/stomping/tripping through snow, and I don't particularly like how winters here can last up to five months, but I LOVE the first real snow fall of the season. It's just way too beautiful not to love it, and, while I don't go running outside for a day of snow angels and snowmen anymore, it's still just so exciting in a deep-down fundamental kind of way that I was actually happy to get out of bed and walk to work in this idyllic postcard-version of winter time.
