Snow is Awesome
Something I’m realizing is that snow makes me happy—very happy. I got to drive though a whole bunch of snow and ice this weekend and I loved every second of it. I even enjoyed the harrowing seconds spent passing semi trucks as they spit frozen slush all over my windows. I’m fairly certain more than a few curse words were directed my way as I cruised past other drivers on my way to Memphis Friday while the snow was still coming down. I loved that too, because I knew I was driving within my limits.
At one point I had to stop to knock the accumulated ice of my wipers. When I stepped out of the car I was hit with a blast of near horizontal freezing, stinging, icy mist. I loved it. I loved going into the gas station and escaping the cold for a few minutes, then heading back out into the inclement weather. I loved later in the night when we walked carefully across the iced over sidewalks to a nearby restaurant for dinner. I even loved getting ready for the drive and possible disaster by putting on two pairs of wool socks and my boots before hefting an armload of emergency blankets and candles into my backseat.
I love snow.
