Winter Storm DESTINY

Winter storm DESTINY hit Connecticut about 4 AM this morning. Scot Haney (our trusted Channel 3 forecaster) predicts 4 to 7 inches. It was snowing when we woke up and the snow is still falling in the late afternoon as I write this.

My wife and I still marvel at the snowstorms. Growing up in the Transvaal, in South Africa we are not used to snow. The first time we saw large quantities of snow was when we landed at JFK on Jan 21, 2001 after 17 grueling hours from Jan Smuts International Airport.

After seven years in Connecticut we see each snow storm as a reason to take photos and be impressed by the beauty of fresh snow on evergreen trees. (And we have also not yet acclimatized to seven months of cold weather, every year - Brrr!!)

The photos above cannot do justice to the serenity that I see out my window as I work today. I have not been outside today, so I have not trudged through the snow yet. I will go out over the weekend and clean the snow off our vehicles. For now, I am content to enjoy the cozy indoors and marvel at the beauty outside.
