I lived for 3 years in upstate NY (REAL upstate NY, not Albany/Buffalo kind, but on the Canadian Border off of the St. Lawrence River type of NNY) and found the snow to be exasperating and wonderful at the same time. Coming from the desert SouthWest on the Mexican border, going up there was a complete and total shock to the system. Heck, I remember one year in the 80s when I was a teen that my town in NM got 4" of snow and it shut down the city for a WEEK! 4 inches is a light snowfall up in Watertown, NY!
Anyways, I always find it strange and eye-crossing that while this wonderful article was written by a lady in Massachusetts in zone 6, me in weird Colorado is in zone 5? How on earth is that possible? I *know* it gets much colder in Massachusetts than it does here.. and winter only lasts about 3 weeks, then we go right back into summer (forget about spring, no such critter here).
Beautifully written longings! I know I've felt that way myself! :) (especially when I had to dig my car out of the snow every single day, twice a day, for 6 months at a time for 3 years!)
