Despite my own desire to return to wearing shorts again, I found myself mesmerized by the falling flakes. For reasons that I do not fully understand, snowfall has a calming influence on my entire being. Even in the strongest blizzard conditions with concern for the welfare of myself and others on my mind, I am still held in wondrous awe of such magnificent design as I see the snow fall.
Certainly, I am hoping that the track, baseball/softball diamonds, and soccer fields clear again soon for those students who take part in their all-too-short sports season. Thus, I am not overly concerned by the rapid melting (especially since I don't need to shovel anything now--as I had in previous years' storms during this time of year). Still, I am glad for the short visit that it gave.
