A lot of folks here in these parts are not overly thrilled with the number of snowflakes we have littering our... well our everywhere right now. While I admit that it is rough on my joints (I say as my back is having spasms & my hands want to move to another body in a warmer climate and my head is pounding, oh the life of chronic pain is grand) I love the freezing water crystals.
Yes it is cold and not fun to get stuck. Yes it makes driving rough, but I can always warm up with tea and a blanket. I can dig myself out and use snow tires. In the summer I just melt. The heat bothers me more than the cold .
Besides look at how sparkly the snow is, think of the workout of sledding and shoveling. Both are great forms of exercise. Imagine the taste of crunchy bread dipped in hot soup on a cold and snowy day (here we don't have to imagine it! What a gift).
Like all things, snow is a matter of perspective. It is a matter of attitude. You can see snow as sparkly and beautiful, a chance to enjoy a hot meal while cozy in a recliner or you can see it as a nemesis wanting to send your car into the depths of the ditch only to be retrieved by the daring Car Retrieval Man!
Snow has advantages it slows us down and literally quiets the world. Snow provides most of the moisture to our area. Snow has disadvantages too. It is dangerous for driving and exposure.
What are you going to focus on? That which causes you to feel joy and peace or anger and bitterness?
