It has been snowing for hours here after many days of extreme below freezing temperatures. I love winter and snow and icicles, and as a native Southern Californian, every winter is a new experience in the Idaho Panhandle. We've lived here 15 years, and we are both so happy to have moved from one international border to the other in the far north. Having never experienced the changing seasons until we fled San Diego, our life here is almost like the joy of new childhood experiences.

Subzero here too but we still haven’t gotten more than two inches of snow! Last winter we set a record of 90 inches, I had to shovel pretty much every day.

I feel much the same about winter....equal parts dread and delight. This is a gorgeous piece of writing...the winter landscape has come alive in your words. xo

Thank you, Mel, you who also hail from the Land of Winter. Dread and delight, that is it, exactly.
