If you take cumulative snowfall total from the 9+ years I lived in Austin and compared it to what we got yesterday, it's not even close...We got about 2 inches yesterday and Lauren really loves it. Everything looks better blanketed in white.
There is a certain excitement that accompanies the chance for frozen precipitation. At least, as long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed the prospect of snow. As I've gotten older, that enchantment has not waned. Perhaps, in light of recent events, freezing rain isn't quite as exciting as it used to be, but certainly snow is everything that I remember. Walking in the snow is a privilege that I do not take for granted.
There is something about the sound of complete silence, or rather the sound of snowflakes landing on the ground. The world is quiet and good, and all seems right. I'm sure it will be gone tomorrow, but for now I'm happy.
We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. Beth and Lauren surprised me with a birthday party!
A Banana Republic wool coat. Nice!
