The first big storm of the season

Somehow it doesn't seem quite as cold when there is snow on the ground. Without snow, everything looks sharp and brittle and freezer burnt. With snow on the ground, everything is softer and just calmer and for whatever reason, less cold. I know, this makes no sense. So Thursday we're supposed to get a 'big' storm. Six plus inches! Yay! Winter Storm Watch! It just might be a three day weekend.
