I love what BeccaSue wrote above...
When I lived in Ohio, my husband and I would take walks in the snow, when it was considered 'really' cold, and people inside cars would look at us like 'you guys are crazy', but outside, especially in the dark, around 9 at night in the small town we lived in... we'd come across one other person, usually out walking his black lab, and that was it...
Otherwise, we'd walk side by side, the street lights and snow and the stars above our only illumination, and inside our parkas with hoods, and wool mittens and flannel-lined jeans and boots, we were very warm...
Each time our boots came down on snow, it would make that snow-cracking sound and rebound off the houses...
And after it snowed, right after, as we walked, it was like being inside one of those snow globes you put out at Christmas time, and shake to watch the snow flakes fall on a church or Christmas carolers inside...
I miss winter, and I know my husband does, too, so those of you who write about winter remind me, and for that, I say 'thank you'.
