Re: Describe your winter-y neighburhood.

It's pretty awesome (for the first couple weeks). Everything gets amazingly quiet - snow falling is noiseless and the snow being everywhere completely muffles sound, and then you get all bundled up with your coat and scarf, and it's like your in your own little world, and you have the snow crunching under your boots, and the bite of the wind at your cheeks and your nose, and it really is just lovely. And the light - whatever light there is is softened, somehow, especially in a city at night. And then you get in out of the cold to wherever you're going, and you shake the snow off your hair and you and whoever you're with all strip out of all the coats and layers, and it's all just very cheerful and full of bonhomie. For me something about the feeling of snow is also always linked to togetherness and good feelings.

A couple years back (I should say, for clarity, that I grew up in a city where there's no snow, and went to college in a place where there was lots of snow, so all of my memories of snow are tied up with the city I went to college in & my experiences there) - but a couple of years ago, there was this absurdly massive blizzard. Snow was just falling in torrents for hours and hours - I had taken shelter in my apartment with my roommates and some friends and you would look at the window and just see nothing but white flakes beating against it. And then around six the snow stopped falling. So much snow had fallen that the city was basically shut down - the roads were out, just too much snow to drive, piled feet high everywhere on the road. And we went out to get dinner, and it was amazing - because the whole place was just completely empty, we were the only people there, and everything was covered in a blanket of snow, and we went out to get dinner, walking down the middle of the street, with no signs of life anywhere.

It was pretty great.

That sounds amazing. I hope someday I'll be able to experience something like that. :)
