Thirteen Things I love aboutSnowstorms
1. How bright everything looks!
2. How good it feels to be inside!!
3. The good exercise I get shoveling my sidewalks--over and over again!!
4. An excuse to get out of going to a meeting (I just did that!!!)
5. The possibility of school being cancelled--I know I am not in school, but it just brings back such good memories
6. The chance to stay at home and make bread and soup
7. Somehow I feel like I have permission to curl up on the couch, wrap up in a blanket and read a good book.
8. The feeling I have that I am prepared if we are stuck in our house for a day or two--even ready if the power goes out.
9. How it makes us slow down--our meetings are cancelled, we can't travel fast, we have to be at home
10. When it stops and warms up we can make snow creatures
11. Tracking the storm on the Weather Channel
12. Hearing the soft sounds of snow hitting the ground
13. Making a cup of hot chocolate and sharing it with my husband while we snuggle on the couch and watch the snow pour down.

I've always been odd and liked it when our car broke down... I liked the excuse of we were going on our way and now we can't so lets do something different! I imagine I'd like a snow storm for that reason, no one can blame you for snuggling in and being a hermit... :)

In southern California, I can hope for my car to break down before I'll wait for snow to get me out of a meeting! Maybe I should buy an older car...

Well, this is my THIRD try at leaving a comment. There must be an incompatibility between my computer and yours - or something.

Anyway - I wrote twice before that we don't get much snow here in Tennessee. However, you seem to be acclimated to it there in Minnesota.

Yea for being a UM minister. My mother is also one (http://ruthlace.blogspot.com)

Just like Timothy, I'm in CA, and no chance of a snowstorm where I'm at, so I'll have to enjoy it vicariously!

Snow days do bring back wonderful memories. I get just as excited as my kids when they call it a snow day!! Other than that, though, I cant stand the stuff! I

I enjoyed your list! Happy TT- Jessica
