It's Going to
snow tomorrow, say all the weather forecasters on TV. They haven't lashed themselves up into their weather-orgy of continuous broadcasting yet, but it is obvious they are champing at the bit. They want this to be a big snow so they can hog the airwaves and tell us about every flake, every icy road, every salt truck, every accident. They really get into the bad side of snow, but I'm looking forward to a good, snowy day. I spent some time tonight getting in wood in preparation for tomorrow's day-long fire. I have nowhere to go so I plan to stoke the fire, make tea, and take down the Christmas decorations. I'll shovel the driveway a couple of times and maybe I'll even take my camera outside and walk through the woods. I love walking as the snow is coating the ground and trees, muffling the sounds of normalcy. Around here, snow is not that normal - at least a lot of it isn't. We are supposed to get 3-6 inches. That doesn't sound like much to a lot of people, but it is more than we usually get and I am looking forward to watching the flakes whirl as they fall outside my tall windows. That's the most fun: being warm and toasty inside while watching frozen crystals paint the world white.
