Perhaps it's because the Big Storm hit over the weekend - after rush hour Friday night thru tonight, possibly into tomorrow morning; maybe the fact it's been a dry (not wet & clinging) powder; but everyone seems to have taken a gloriously mellow spin on the 2+ feet of snow blanketing Greater Philadelphia.
If Facebook is anything to judge by, most of the folks I know are making the most of the snowy, blowy day. Lots of reports of children having a ball, one young newly-married friend from Down Under is experiencing her first ever snow fall, LOTS of great food being made & shared. One friend is up in NYC, hopefully getting to auditions for performing arts programs. Several gal pals are in the Big Apple sharing a cozy weekend. Lots of chili being made, from what I hear & "just in case" piles of blankets being stockpiled. Thanks to neighbors who've dug out driveways & walks with mega appreciated snow blowers, other folks digging out doggie runs for trusty canines.
Lots of folks slam Facebook for promoting "shallow" connections. SO not my experience, especially on a day like this one. Been in my jammies, robe & slippers all day, yet NOT alone. Been all over my little hometown, up to NYC, down D.C., hearing from friends in sunny Canada & family in toasty Australia.
Snowmageddon is here, but so is the world.
Thanks, Facebook!
