Blizzard conditions

Here I sit, warming after a tromp through the whipping snow with Tischer.  Forecasts call for snow and gusting winds this entire week, beginning with a heavy dump over the next 30 hours.  This time tomorrow I could have up to 3+ feet of new snow on my doorstep.  With temps finally dropping and precip in the atmosphere, it appears that I can officially welcome winter to my neck of the woods.  

Though the depth chart may play catch up to last seasons marks, I am excited for another stellar winter.  And as a man of all seasons, I also admit that I am looking forward to a slightly shorter wintry period. Last years was long.  Since it is already almost the middle of December, I suspect this season won't stretch on like the previous one.  

You see, while I love the cold and deep, I also love it in moderation. And moderation to me is come May, these conditions start easing their grip. Because I like it all.  Last year I still had snow when I left the cabin in mid-June and while I had fun, I was more than ready to move along.

But for now, my skin is crawling with anticipation just watching it pile up out my window.  Bring it.
