First Snow

I don’t hate snow as much I hate winter. To someone like me snow is probably the best part of American winter. Today’s snow is the first major snowfall in two years in my area. This is also the first snow for my son who is now old enough to see the visible difference outdoors after snowing.

Snow, often seen as an impediment or an interrupter in our days can also be something that breaks our boredom. During this pandemic when nothing seems normal anymore, snow brings back winter normalcy when it dances down from the white sky like rain drops made flat and softly lands on everything on the surface. This can be a romantic scene.

Snow is a great equalizer too. It falls on everything equally. Whether you’re rich or poor, it falls on your lot in same amounts as it does on others.
