missing the snow

Even though most people I know back in the DC area are dreading it, I really miss the fact that we’re missing out of the huge snow storm they got hit with (and apparently they’re about to get up to 20 more inches). There’s nothing better than lighting a fire and watching the snow fall to excess. It’s also fun to watch all the people flock to the stores and buy 2 months worth of supplies, as if they’ll need them. Here are two pictures that our neighbor Rick took recently:

While we’re missing the big snow back in the DC area, we are at least getting some dustings here lately. The days are starting to get longer as well, which is a good thing. That’s the one thing I really didn’t like about the winter over here … the amount of actual daylight per day was very minimal. Couple that with the lack of sun in general due to constant cloud cover, and it’s kind of depressing.
