I know I had it easy -- I had absolutely no responsibility for shoveling, I was able to work remotely, I did not have to worry about walking a dog and my house was toasty warm all day.  I know others were not as lucky as me.

But with that disclaimer, this snow was beautiful.  I really don't remember the last time our neighborhood was under such a pristine blanket of white -- almost two feet of it.  I was fascinated by how the snow chose to fall -- or better said blow -- into neat piles, leaving stairs without a trace of snow and other walkways covered.  The family next door had a blast all afternoon rolling around their back yard.  I enjoyed the kids giggles.

All of that said, I am hoping not to have another run at this much snow.  I'm just not sure my luck will hold out.

And when does spring arrive??
