January Snow

   

This winter has been so different from last year, one being that we actually see the snow falling from the sky.  Last winter, we awoke to snow already lying peacefully on the ground. This year, we can actually say 'look!  it's snowing!'  We've had a good amount of beautiful 'day time snow' here in the North East, and already so much more of it than last winter.  Tim and I bundled up last Friday and took a hike in Prospect Park.  (I think it was 19 degrees...or maybe 9. The frequent freezing temps are meshing together for me.)  We were amazed at the number of paths that had been cleared for residents to walk on.  It's nice to see how much NYC cares for their parks!  But there is surely something about snow that is so whimsical.  Everyone seems to get so excited, and no matter how cold it is, people are out playing in it, both young and old.
