Let It Snow, Let It Show

It snowed in Washington last night. For the first time, it stayed overnight. I had not realized how much I missed snow. It changes the air. It creates excitement. you say to your friends outside of town: "It snowed today!" and they go "Wow!"

I hear that Washington isn't used to snow, despite getting some every year. A few centimeters can block the whole city - schools and offices are closed. Funny enough. In December, some regions in Canada got their biggest snow storm in 30 years. A total of 40 cm in 12 hours, I think. A young friend of mine who lives in the area wrote me: "I had school anyway". I wonder if mindsets don't change more than temperatures when you cross the 49th parallel.
