I awoke about midnight. 12:01 a.m., actually. I followed my standard morning routine, hopping on the computer to make the usual web site checks. Drudge Report. Facebook. New York Times. Huckleberries. Drudge Report again. Drudge hadn't been updated in a while, it seemed. That reminded me. It was 12:01 a.m; 3:01 a.m. East Coast time. Matt Drudge was asleep. I'd been planning my adventure for a good 12 hours now. Good Morning America was in town. Plus, it had snowed. The possibilities for adventure seemed endless. Snow and I have an interesting relationship. There's history there, but not a lot of it. I long for it like I do Cafe Yumm, yet I fear it like I do a career in public relations. I grew up in a place where a brushing of snow meant no school. It happened every few years or so. Roads shut down. Kids stayed home and played in the snow, as it should be. But North Idaho is different. Talk like that about the snow up here and you'll be scorned like a Californian. Still, I can't help my fascination. It's powdery, yet crunchy. Beautiful yet ass-freezing cold/MeghannC, The Skinny On North Idaho. Full post here.
Question: What do you think of snow?
