"The Weather Outside is Frightful"



 I awoke this morning, to my delight, to several inches of blowing snow and magnificent beauty. While shoppers are stuck at home worrying about finishing their shopping and wondering if they should venture out; I'm sitting inside wondering when I can strap on the cross country skis and hit the trails. The beauty of a snow storm from the inside out is magnificent. As I listen to the Christmas songs of the season so many of them reference "winter" and "snow" and winter activities. I often wonder how people in warm weather areas relate to the songs. But this morning as I sit and look out, the "Dashing Through the Snow", "White Christmas" and "Sleigh Ride" songs take no imagination.
