Snow, thoughts on:

A lot of people far from the cold,- including myself - can get nostalgic about snow, especially massive storms that transform your street, your neighborhood, your town....my thoughts: easy to love this phenomenon when you are a child, or even a teenager - but the idea of having to get to and from work, shop for groceries, get your kids to school, shovel your driveway and walkways, heat your home, etc. - eh, not as lovely....not dissing my Northern friends at all - just a reality check on missing snow. And to paraphrase Fran Liebowitz, of course it was better way back when; you were young then.
