I love the first heavy snow storm of the year. I like it best when the snow starts in the late afternoon and snows all through the night. Every store, school, restaurant and the world shuts down immediately and the outside world goes silent as everyone is home and bracing for the worse. You go to bed and get up to the beauty of the moment.
And then, you take your car on the road to go somewhere and the roads are plowed and slippery. Cars are caked in melting salt. Parking options are limited because of the piled up snow. People have cleared their parking spot and threaten bodily harm if someone takes their spot. And the world turns from a quiet, peaceful moment earlier and now the vibe is frustration and survival.
