there is no doubt that i've done my extremely large share of complaining about the snow storms dc has been hit by the past few days. and i still hold my ground in that, even though there was a serenity to the quiet and calmness that comes with a blanket of fresh powder, the snow has become burdensome.
however, besides waiting in line with fellow panicked residents at the grocery store plucking the few remaining items off the shelves...and besides the constant fear of cracking my skull slipping on a slab of ice...and besides the claustrophobia inducing metro, the storms have brought us some goodness. the joy of children sledding down hills...the massive impromptu snowball fights...seeing the goodness in people as they help dig out trapped cars...and my personal first snow day off work.
undoubtedly, as we (myself included) are forced back to our desks and can no longer enjoy the snow and ice in the comforts of a heated house and hot cocoa in our hands, the cacophony of complaints and whines will grow louder by the day. but from the confines of the metro to the doldrums of a day at work, we should keep in mind the childhood fun we all found in snow.
