The weather the past week or so has been very snowy and bitter cold. If you live or have lived in snow country, you know what those days are like. It can make life difficult.
The snow does make a special kind of quiet though –a nice quiet. It surrounds ... sort of like a gentle hug. I especially notice it when the roads are heavily covered and the snow is not yet plowed. Vehicles sort of glide on by. The snow silence envelopes.
If it is especially cold, your footsteps make a clean, crunchy sound, but if there is enough snow -- there is a wonderful silence even as you walk along -- kicking up powdery snow as you make a path. Snow people know what I mean. Once again – I feel sorry for people who have never experienced that part of winter.
I think the whole world needs some moments of total quiet now and again. The cold, fresh air doesn't hurt either.
Looking on the bright side.... Happy Monday. (Current temperature 6º . Feels like -7º)
