Tonight, during the Baha'i Club meeting, we got about an inch of snow in just an hour or two, which made the roads the messiest they've been (still not too bad). There's a certain quiet with the snow though. It absorbs sound, or something. It's beautiful. I love the total stillness of the air. I first noticed it last year when skiing in Utah. But tonight, standing on my doorstep, I heard the silence again. Well, maybe I just noticed the lack of sound, depending on how you view silence ;).
And, I've officially been slipping and sliding now (though I was purposefully going about 2 mph). Let me tell you, you really pay attention to where the hills and potholes are when there's slippery slush/ice/snow on the roads. But I do enjoy the groaning of the wheels on the snow. It's a really cool sound, and unlike any other. I feel triumphant :).
