Yes, it the best thing a good snow can do, hush the world. I always enjoyed the quiet peacefulness immediately following the storm, providing there was no wind. And the best place was in the woods. You could hear the streams under their ice/snow blankets for a good long way. And the cough of a deer or bear would be startling.
Which reminds me, enjoy your current storm. Spring is really not that far off and the storms will be over then. To live only as a memory of the ‘Winter of 2014’ in stories to your young friends.
Carl,
That’s exactly why I chose this song. I love the quiet that falling snow seems to bring (windless falling snow). The snow gently comes to earth, and it’s beautiful.
From here spring seems a million years away. We’ll have snow on the ground through April. 7 foot piles take a long time to melt.
This will be the winter everyone talks about. The storm of ’78 has been dwarfed.
