ahhh, how i miss snow. big, white piles of pillowsoft snow. snow that slows down the earth’s spin, dampens down the volume, fills in the nooks with lofty frozen batting, smooths over the rough edges, makes the world clean again. there’s a sweet smell to the air when it snows like that – a lightness that gets up inside your nostrils and fills your lungs. a brightness that illuminates the sky like moonglow, bouncing off the underside of the low clouds. snow that drifts through the air like glittering feathers, coating the pavement, the lampposts, the brims of hats with a thick icing of fluff. snow that puts life on pause, creates calm in a storm, and merits wonder and awe.

and finally snow!  real snow!

everything has, of course, ground to a complete halt.  it took jonno more than 2 hours to get to work.  i have a feeling it’ll take him a lot longer to get home, as it’s supposed to continue to accumulate throughout the day.

but isn’t it beautiful!

this song sounds like snow to me…
Sigur Rós – Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
