I know many of my friends and acquaintances groan when the hear about or encounter snow. What a tragedy! I can't think of many times I have dreaded a snow storm or any other kind of snowfall event. However, I'll admit that there have been a few times when I have needed to travel, that the bad roads were not welcomed.
I have always enjoyed that snow can appear in all kinds of configurations. This morning while I was pedaling my recumbent stationary bike for exercise, the view from my sun room was enhanced by the gentle and silent snowfall of giant flakes. I was completely struck by how beautiful and peaceful this early snowfall appeared. It made my day! Other snowfalls can be as beautiful and sometimes breathtaking. A blizzard with high winds and blowing snow makes my heart beat faster in awe of the power of nature. Snow is also an art form from nature. Following a storm one can revel in the beauty of sculptured drifts and swirls around trees and other objects. I delight in the diamond like sparkling of the new fallen snow when making first tracks on a crisp and sunny winter morning on the slopes.
Many of my contemporaries now take off for the tropical climes in winter. Good riddance folks! I will continue to enjoy the infinite configurations of snow both at home and on the slopes. And I am still happy to run the snow blower and shovel a little bit to be kind to my wife who is still learning to layer her clothes for winter. Thank God she tolerates my snow mania.

She even really appreciates your blowing the snow!
Yesterday I bought a thick knock-about-jacket with a hood intended for no other purpose but to keep me really warm in the snow. We'll see.
