What is it you ask? Its just about the biggest snowstorm I can ever remember hitting this part of the U.S. The article in the paper yesterday said there would be 76 mph winds and snow falling 2-3 inches an hour. Our blanket of snow is being turned into a comforter!
I woke up this morning at nine o'clock (Snow Day!!) and looked outside. It was snowing, and every single branch of every tree was dusted with a layer of fluff. It's my favorite thing in the winter to wake up and see my backyard warped into a mysterious world of white. I love how snow can bow the branches and make the ground look so smooth. It changes the landscape tremendously, yet does it so silently. I mean have you ever been out, say, sledding, and after a ride to the bottom of the hill just laid there and looked up at the sky? The snow falls so softly and when it's all over the trees and bushes, it buffers the surrounding noise. It's really quite peaceful to listen to the snow.
Anyway, we're about to get a ton of this white wonder, so before it gets too much like a blizzard out there, I think I'll go skiing.
Happy Nor'easter everyone!
