Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

I've never seen so much snow in my life. In 3 days, as much as 20 inches got dumped on us here in Boston. The winter storm that brutalized the Midwest made its way East, bringing with it snow, sleet, rain, and some crazy wind. It was really beautiful watching the snowfall. Being from South Carolina hasn't really afforded me the opportunity to see snow like this, and, apart from the 3 feet of snow I saw last year in New Hampshire, this was the most snow I've ever seen in my life. It's definitely the most snow I've ever seen fall, period. On my walk to work this morning, I felt like I was walking through the Arctic Tundra or climbing up the North Col on Mt. Everest. As many winters as have passed here in New England, it never ceases to surprise me that people still don't adequately shovel their sidewalks. I'm from South Carolina, and even I know how to work a snow shovel. I laughed to myself on the way to work, as I felt my face numbing up because of the 15 MPH wind, and knew that if I just closed my eyes I would know the sensations of climbing up the world's highest peak, from the relative comfort of Somerville Avenue. All in all, I hope we're in for a white and wintry wonderland, and I'll settle for the arctic aftermath if it means I get to watch the snow fall again like it has in the past 3 days.
