Thirteen things to be happy about winter snow:
1. Its white and clean - crisp and so fresh looking away from the dirty looking sense that fall brings with rain and old leaves
2. You can burn a lot of calories cross country skiing on it - Stephen and I took up skiing in our neighborhood park area and its beautiful to get out in the cool air
3. Snow insulates your house, your yard, etc from the cold - to keep pipes from freezing and insulating perennials
4. To make snow angels - plop down on the snow and move your arms and legs all around and make a pretty impression on the sheet of white snow
5. Its pretty coming down in huge snowflakes - especially when its not too cold out and trying to catch a flake with your tongue
6. Instant fridge for whatever you want cooled off - throw out a few cokes and they cool off instantly
7. Snow machine riding in the big white - so much fun whizzing around and feeling the air whooshing past along with the world
8. Its a nice escape from mosquitoes - no question about that
9. To make snow cones with - yum snow cones, especially on a hot summer day
10. Makes cleaning up yucky dog poop easier - our damn dog, Duke -- what a pain
11. To make snow men with - and then destroy them (hehehhe)
12. Have a snow ball fight - the best is the wet snow.
