Winter White

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 | The Writing Life

I had a different entry planned today, but there is snow falling in Manhattan.  For everyone here (except the kids who get out of school), the snow is a minor to a major inconvenience. But to my southern eyes (we only had one real snowfall when I was a kid in Wilmington, NC) this winter white is beautiful.

There is something meditative in the sight of falling snow, and the blanket it casts on the upper levels of the city, on my bosses’ balcony for example, and along the rooflines. Though the snow gets muddy pretty quickly on the street level, above the fray, the peace of the snow looks like a blessing.

So here’s to the sight of a blessing, and for those of us who like to look up.

I LOVE snow too!!!!!!! I’m a southerner like you and don’t get to see it that often, so when I do I’m like a kid in a candy store!

We had minute flurries this morning in Georgia and I was even excited about that! Crazy southerners I know! I’m sure all the grocery stores are sold out of milk and bread by now ;-)

The great thing up here is that the stores never seem to run out of anything…how do they do it? Northern efficiency at its best…

I am looking out over my bosses’ balcony right now and watching the blanket thicken. So pretty…
