Lovers of Snow Rejoice

Since I have not gotten into the routine of blogging regularly, I thought I should at least respond to my blog from last year (nearly a year ago) about the scarcity of snow. If you live in the vicinity of the East coast, you know this winter has included a lot of snow. I am glad. Of course, I am in that small group of professionals called teachers. Therefore, I have benefited from more than a couple "snow days." I've not had to deal with getting to an office every day with snowstorm after snowstorm hindering that progress.

This has been a special winter in my eyes. We have had about forty inches of snow so far. I expect to see more accumulate on the ground. It is so symbolic of the season. A lingering coat of snow indicates the presence of a real legitimate winter. This has not been so for several years. My disappointment has been replaced with gladness. While I do not get outside most days to ski, snowshoe, or sled, I like having that option. May this be the beginning of many more winters with significant snowfall.
