For rural, somewhat self-sufficient types,a real blizzard is an awesome and beautiful display of God’s expression in nature followed by some work to dig out and a few days of peace and quiet.

That's how I felt this morning while shoveling...something about snow on trees all around you is very, very peaceful (that and knowing the coffee was brewing inside while I was shoveling).

This is NOT a "state of emergency" storm. We have had much, much worse. This is a "we get a three day weekend after all" storm for state workers. It raises the age-old question: if they are "non essential workers", why are they on the payroll?

Exactly!!

Well said!
