Incredible how accurate the almanac has been this year, snowed every single time that it said that it would. It would be cool if this year wasn’t a fluke and one could actually make plans. I love how un-ugly things get once they’ve got a few inches of snow on them. Ugly power lines, no longer a problem, white streaks across the sky. Ugly roads, much better in white. Ugly houses white. Everything’s bright.

When you get a good coating of snow across everything and then a heavy overcast at night, the light bouncing back and forth between cloud and ground makes it almost seem like daytime.
