Please Make It Stop! (pic)

We complain if it doesn't snow (global warming!!) and then we complain when it does, oh, that's global warming, too?
My husband came home in what I call a "blizzard". I wasn't raised in these parts (California girl) so every time
a little snow falls I think I need to stay in the house. He looked
outside and my dear husband, born and raised here in Erie, asked if I
wanted to take a nighttime walk in the snow (blizzard).
Oh, this brought back a fond memory of a midnight blizzard walk when we
lived, for a short time, in the Chicago area (Crystal Lake). It was so
cold that night (about zero degrees) that the moisture in the air froze
into bright little crystals and night had turned bright like day with
twinkling stardust everywhere. I took that walk so bundled up it was
hard to move. The moisture of my breath froze on my neck scarf that was
covering my face.
It was no where near that cold tonight but it
was extra bright out for being so late. The snow was piling up fast. It
was nice to bundle up and feel the cold snow hit my face and cause
frostbite. Really, it was fun and I got my fingers out of my gloves long
enough to snap this photo. Actually, it really was much snowier and
deeper than the picture portrays. Pictures lie with fish size and snow
depth. :-)
