Something about snow

View from the deck

There is just something about snow that makes the world beautiful. Here in north central Maryland, Mother Nature has mostly forgotten how to snow. Rain, cold rain, freezing rain, heavy sleet are what we get recently. I know, be careful what you wish for...a business colleague is in Minnesota where they had below freezing virtually every day of December and regular snow measured in feet. She would trade places in a heartbeat! But a little bit of snow and I'm a kid again. No matter how old I get, the words "Frederick County Schools are Closed" remain magic. Best heard from Tommy Grunwell on WFMD, but I'll take "Find Out First" on my cell phone.

Last winter it snowed in Atlanta and Chris said professors let class out simply because the attention of students was lost with the first flake. He enjoyed showing his Georgia friends the finer points of making a snow angel.

So, even though the shed isn't exactly overflowing with wood, I say "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"
