Snow

February 15, 2006 11:59 PM

t's snowing outside. Looks like maybe an inch and a half. Outside my window, every surface that is close to horizontal looks fluffy and white.

I love snow. Perhaps it's a function of growing up in Arizona, where snow was rare, but i always thought that snow was awesome. In my mind, it's almost as if god decided that the world wasn't beautiful enough, so he added something to it - an ethereal, intangible something. Snow is tied, i think, for most awesome meteorological phenomenon with monsoons. Here in Wisinconsin, though, we don't get many monsoons.

I'm always surprised when people who grew up in areas where it snows constantly express any displeasure at all at the sight of the white stuff. I guess that's one of those things i just won't ever get.

For me, snow continues to be a source of almost boundless beauty and fun. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Winter is, by far, my favorite season. It's the best.

sure, winter is great. if you own your car. but it pretty much blows if you own my car. which i had to leave in a parking garage downtown after driving about five blocks and realizing there was no way i was gonna make it home. however, after hearing that it is like 40 below in canada, i am liking wisconsin a hell of a lot more. not only do i have a cell phone that functions only as an answering machine, i now have a car that is about as useful as a moped, but not nearly as cheap.
