1 How do you feel about snow?

Snow is life. Snow is bright. Snow means that today is not THAT cold. Snow is chaotic play. Snow is the powder that turns into solids. Snow is snow banks, snow forts and cross country ski. It might even mean a shack in the woods but is fine if it's just a walk in the snow. Just dress up, avoid moisture and enjoy the show...

Did I mention we just had the first serious snowfall of the year? It'll probably have melted off by tomorrow afternoon but I'm overjoyed.

The downside of snow is no bike rides in heavy traffic, but I don't need to ride in traffic during this pandemic...

Snow...is a mixed blessing to me. Ecologically, yes, and economically, we need it. If you're not careful, though, you can die of it.

As a young adult I missed the last bus home too many times and expended all the good will my parents had in picking me up at the bus terminal, but instead of learning the lesson I kept missing the last bus and then walk/hitch hike the last hour walk home, which I didn't mind doing most of the year. One winter my boots were getting worn out and moisture would get in. One night I got careless again, but this time it got down to minus 30, missed the bus, and started walking. I could kind of take the cold from the ankles up, but my wet feet were frooooooozen, and it was the middle of the week so there was very little car traffic in our exurb. I frankly don't think I would have made it home without serious frostbite on my toes. 20 minutes in, a car droves past me but I only heard it at the last second, futilely raised my thumb just as the car went past me. A couple minutes later the same car came back the other way, the driver lowered his window and asked "were you hitch hiking?" I don't think I've ever been as relieved in my life since then. They gave me a ride all the way home. I didn't think about it at the time but years later I wondered what they thought of the two cars sitting in the driveway, though it was past 1am, so the whole house was dark...

But anyway that's DEEP COLD, snow is fine ;)

drives, damnit. This is what happens when I change the verb tense of the sentence and don't review thrice.
