Maybe I've completely lost it, maybe others are with me on this, I don't know.
As the snow started falling last night, I felt pretty grossed out by the whole thing. It's way too early for snow to be falling and actually sticking to the ground. I felt exactly the same way this morning when I got up before the kids to go shovel the walk and clean off the car of all the snow. I don't know the exact amount, but I'd say about 15 cm was on the ground. There was a lot of blowing snow though so some spots are bare while others are around 30 cm. Anyway, it was gross. I didn't like it. I especially didn't like it because I had to deal with it (vs. having my wonderful husband out in the snow!).
But then, as I'm driving Christine to daycare, the same feeling I get every year with the first snow fall hits me. A feeling of warmth and peace. It's funny that the cold stuff makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. I'm not sure what it is... the promise of the holiday season (one of my favorite times of year), the promise of hot chocolate by the fire (I think I'm going to have one tonight!), or maybe it's that the roads are so bad that everyone slows down and don't feel as rushed. I'm not sure what it is, but I like the feeling. If only I didn't have to go out into the snow, I would absolutely love it!
Perhaps this year I will be able to go out cross-country skiing and I will like snow again...

I hear ya Jules - completely agree. Was very much not happy with the storm last night, especially when I was trying to get the car into the garage and it was slipping all over the place, but then this morning, while taking Ellie out for a short walk - it was kind of nice to see the blanket of white everywhere. Of course I'll also be happy when it all melts by Thursday or Friday. :)
