[MondayBlues]

when i lived out west in the mountains although the winter lasted too long for my tastes it was absolutely beautiful. to go cross country skiing out in the middle of nowhere , on a sunny day, in feet and feet of glorious fresh snow that sparkled like a gazillion crystals was one thing.

being "snowed in" some days, shovelling for hours, feeling like it's kind of an adventure getting that much snow or surviving sub zero termperatures and then finishing the day with a warm meal and a cuddle under a quilt by a wood burning stove is another. rosy cheeks, fresh air. i love it.

big storms do bring people together. gives people who wouldn't normally talk to each other something to talk about.

the other side i don't like is driving when i have to drive on an icy highway and i'm not too fond of slush in a city.

if you're going to have snow then in my opinion you might as well have a ton of it.
