Dec. 6th, 2005 08:46 pmAnother 12" of snow tonight...white and swirling out there.
Winter is different here. At least here there IS snow - something I grew up with, and missed in Peterborough. Here, tho...there's *SNOW*. I hope I don't get sick of too soon.
It doesn't get cold-cold here, tho. At home, in the Valley, it can get down to -30, -40 C...here, it doesn't get so bitter. Suppose that's good.
I miss the hoar-frost, and the north wind off the river, and the endless sculpted frozen drifts under moonlight.
But here, there's swirling clouds of snow, and the crescent moon just shining through the squall.
It's enough.
