The snow finally arrived yesterday. And what a storm it was—it snowed for hours. (And this is a desert.) Roads got slick, cars slid off the road, people arrived late to wherever they were heading, and events were cancelled. With all the mess and inconvenience, there were few complaints. Normally that would not be true towards the end of January. However, this was the first real snow we have received all season. The west has been dry, and the ski resorts empty. We have missed, longed for the snow. People were posting photos on Facebook, showing yards, streets, and cars covered with the white stuff. It was beautiful during the storm. I think the long delay made us all appreciate something we take for granted, and frequently grumble about when we have to drive in it or shovel it. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. . .
