The bitter cold days of winter are not my favorites, but today it did warm up enough to snow. I was watching the snow fall in the dark tonight. The flakes are huge and fluffy, falling by the glow of the streetlights.

I went outside for a few minutes to listen to the snow falling. When the world is quiet on a snowing evening, there is nothing like listening to the snow fall. It is a such a thick quiet, so different from other types of quiet. The muffled, soft noise of snow falling is one of my favorite things about winter evenings.

January brings the snow, makes our feet and fingers glow.
