I know the snow has been inconvenient. There have been accidents, and it's a real pain to be stuck indoors. Folks are without power and heat. But I can’t help it…it’s SO BEAUTIFUL.
One road away the snow is so heavy that the trees on either side of the road bend toward one another, creating this tunnel of white that’s like something out of a fairy tale. (I tried to photograph it, but I’m just not sure it’s possible to do it justice.)
The trees are covered in white after white after white. There’s that quiet that only snow creates.
Sadly, we haven’t had much time to play in it. Neko started throwing up late last night, and has been keeping it up all day. We had to cancel a playdate and swimming.
But she’s already announced she will be better tomorrow in time for school. You know, just in case, heaven forbid, we were making plans to keep her home.

Wendy – I’m so glad you got good pictures of this! This morning Sophie and I tried to, but the sun was so bright I don’t know how they turned out. Where we are, the snow blew in sideways for a few hours, coating just one side of the tree trunks from bottom to top. An amazing sight. But the most amazing of all is how the trees and bushes (especially in the woods) are coated down to the tiniest twigs – not like a big, amorphous dumping of snow but a clearly defined, even, frosting. So, so incredible. This afternoon we drove through a “tunnel” of trees like this and it was breathtaking. Looks like what you have, there, too. Winter wonderland.
