Being from New York I love the snow! I love how beautiful it looks like it's falling I Love the crispness in the air just before a snowstorm But most of all I love how the snow mutes the world. The world seems to go silent as this white blanket falls over the earth. No cars on the road, Little to no people outside everything is silent.
Here in Fayetteville I have barely seen snow, and what they call snow down here is not snow at all a thin layer barely enough for a kid to make a snowball and yet everything gets shut down and closed early.
I remember when I was younger my brother and I would get so excited about the snow!
When the roads were completely closed my whole family would have snowball fights on the high way directly in front of our house or in the playground in the back of my apartment complex covered in several feet of snow. Snow brought people together it caused kids to stay home from school and parents to stay home from work. No one wanted to travel out to work or school but parents would bundle up to take their children out in the snow that would come up to at least your ankles.
So even now as a young adult snow is magical to me, So last night when Fayetteville got hit with a little bit more snow than usual I was ecstatic. I went out in the bitter cold just to feel that crisp air again to be able to look up and see those beautiful flurries dancing underneath streetlights made the world so much more beautiful.And to be able to wake up to the sight of a beautiful blanket of snow covering the ground is truly amazing!
