I have lived in 'your kind of weather'. It is all so beautiful when it first snows. You live a different way of life than people do where it doesn't snow know like that. You don't realize how much of a 'survivor' you are until you live where it does not snow so much. I am glad you have the beauty to enjoy and I am sorry it has to be so cold and messy other times. I am seeing the glass half full. I would love to enjoy one more blizzard. Inside, looking out. I always enjoyed them so much because we knew precisely when they were coming and could button down until they were gone and the plows came. Such a different way of life. Enjoy the beauty.
