I like winter, and I like snow. To an extent. Usually I figure a couple good snows before mid-February is nice and then it is time to clear up. We had a couple 12-14 inch snows already this winter, and this week it was warm enough to melt most of the snow. There were just a few random snow piles left when I fell asleep Friday night.
I woke up just after midnight and noticed a strange glow from outside. I assumed we had inadvertantly left the porch light on, so I went to turn it off. It was already off. The glow was the reflection of the moon off 6 inches of new snow! That was a surprise as I wasn't expecting snow until today.
We are supposed to get another 12 inches by tomorrow noon. So much for my early spring!
On a similar topic, it was Groundhog's Day a few weeks ago. The groundhog didn't see his shadow which, according to legend, means we are to have an early spring. The next two weeks were the most brutally cold of the year, with windchills at 20-30 degrees below zero (Farenheit). Ben sounded so betrayed when he would say, "But the groundhog didn't see his shadow. It is supposed to be spring!" Poor guy took the groundhog at his word and couldn't understand why we had more winter!

That was neat to come visit your blog after several days away to find that you had just updated! I always like new snow. It is peaceful and beautiful. I enjoy it coming down too. Is it snowing now? Are you all done with your house makeover? Post some pics here or on the family site!
