How about this snow? It's been dumping on us here lately. However, I must say I'm enjoying it more this year than in years past. (Maybe that's just because it's only starting and I'm not tired of it yet.) Part of it may be due to living in a new place and seeing how beautiful everything looks covered in a blanket of white. I'm especially enjoying the view of the woods in our backyard. Usually I don't find the colors gray and white all that appealing. But some days its the sky is lavender and the branches are sparkeling on the trees.
The main reason I dislike snow is generally all the shoveling and poor road conditions. I've been lucky, so far I've only had to go out once and shovel, M is good to take care of it. And the other morning when I did go out, it was almost relaxing. That was even the morning the sun was shining but the high temperature was in the teens! Sure, I couldn't feel my nose except for the snot dripping from it, and Leah was bundled up from head to toe and dishing up some snow with her garden shovel and bucket. I really enjoy watching her plop down in the snow to make snow angels-- a major contrast to my dislike of snow anywhere that isn't covered by my snow pants and other cold weather items.
I admit I have spent a few minutes thinking about spring, but that's just because I'm excited to get planting in my new, weed free beds. And I am unable to map out the current plants for planning since they are buried under atleast 18" of the white stuff. In the meantime, the kids make everything more fun, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of snow to enjoy, and shovel, this winter.

Let is snow, let is snow, let it snow! Some of my favorite quiet moments in life is early in the moring shoveling snow. Our HOA takes care of it here and I actually miss it. But I must say, your family looks stylin' in their snow gear.
I just want to say, holy cow that's a lot of snow! We got a ton a few weeks ago, but it's been pretty clear since then. I agree with you: driving + shoveling = miserable life. =)
Oh, and I love the new blog design! so pretty. =)
