My White Snow


The white fluffy stuff kept falling and falling and falling from Friday night through Saturday night. DC got a ton of snow-real snow....not ice. It was great! Every few hours, I was outside cleaning the front sidewalk and cleaning off my car. The more I shoveled the more the white stuff kept falling. After awhile, I had nowhere to put the snow.

Falling snow is so peaceful. It has the same calming effect on me as the ocean at the beach. It causes me to reflect on good memories and even helps with making difficult decisions.

Snow makes the district stand still. Almost every store and restaurant shut down forcing people to appreciate their homes and the people around them. There was a silence on my street with lights flickering from my neighbors windows. Love it.

Wow...that's a lot of snow! I love the peacefulness of it. I left NYC just before we got a huge storm as well.

Are you Back in Ohio?

DC hasn't seen this much snow in a LONG time. I am loving it! :)

Yes, the snow is lovely, white, and deep. And I have lots of digging out to do before I sleep....:)

The silence of snow, even today as I shoveled, was so welcome in this busy season. No traffic, no planes... only the sound of snow sliding from trees bending under the white load.

What a romantic view of snow. Clearly you don't live with it for months at a time.

I want to be back in the south.

Jason-You are so right! We haven't had this much snow in years ESP so early. It's usually ice and sleet. I can see how it would get old if it snowed every week.

The most snow on record in December... ever! It was a great way to stop for a day and just have quiet time.

This is really nice, T. We had just a few flurries the other night, and it made me giddy. It helped that I wasn't the one driving.
