Snow

I find it very amusing that in previous years those who have participated in the Virginian winters would complain that we would not get a "good snow". And this year, when we get a bit more snow than normal (just like everyone wished for) they are so disappointed. While I hate cold weather and do not enjoy spending any kind of time outside when the weather is miserable, I love what a snow day represents. Everything is quiet and more peaceful. Fires are built in the fireplace (or turned on by a switch - silly gas fireplaces) hot chocolate is enjoyed, books are read, rest is had, no one feels guilty about doing nothing all day.

Enjoy all these things that are available during your snow days - you may even want to prepare for Friday, a foot of snow is expected!!??
