The first real snow of the year has fallen and it has reminded me how many things about winter I love. Snow is one of those things (even when I spend half my day shoveling it off the driveway). Snow, and especially when it's thick, makes everything just glow. Salt Lake's dark and lonely streets become so much brighter than they are for the rest of the year.
I remember this happening back home growing up: even in the dead of night it would still be so bright because the light reflected off all the snow, and up to the clouds and back to the ground... it would just hang out all night long making the world cheery and bright.
I also love Christmas candies and the associated goodies.
I love coming into a warm house.
I love wearing a coat that I know will keep me warm in almost any weather.
I love snow stuck on the branches of trees.
I love seasonal drinks and flavours of ice cream.
I love roads that are just a little slippery.
And I love other things, but basically I love winter.

I love all those things too! Though I could probably do without the slippery roads. That just makes me scared. Now that the snow is actually here, I'm more open to the idea of being excited about winter.
Ok I am glad you said just a Little slippery... cause Icy roads just scare the hell out of me... and their is nothing to love about that!
I love winter too! SLC was so beautiful today. Baptiste and I want to hang out with you sometime...
