The Perfect Storm

To soon!  Thanksgiving is not even history yet

Today was wild...a real winter storm.  40 mph with winds 40mph and gusts to 50.  Actually it was rather fun to watch the blowing snow.  The windows were coated and you could see only a few feet.  It has calmed down now so we are venturing out.  Most roads in the county area are closed.  Just curious to see how things are.

As much as I complain (as do others) about the winter, would I like to miss winter entirely?  No, I think not.  There is something about a wicked snow storm  that is exciting and appealing.  I experience a sense of comfort and security which comes with the knowledge, that  am I protected from its rage.  It provides an oportunity to slow down and observe my surroundings.  The snow covered world looks brighter and refreshed.  The first storm is always the best.  Winter is welcomed in the beginning, but its appeal fades much quicker that the other three seasons.  How sad to be the season many love to hate.  For the moment I will take what it offers and try to be patient with it.
