North central Missouri received a load of snow Wednesday, January 6th. During past years, this part of the world had dry winters, with very little snow amounts.

This year snow fell around the holiday Christians know as Christmas. The five inch snow and single digit temps were different.
What is your snow like this year?

It was 7 o'clock at night and I was out walking my dog. As he and I walked down the street under the glow of street lights, something occurred this time. It was a sound that unlocked a distant excitement......within.


That particular crunch, my heavy boots falling on light powder, me all bundled up, warm inside, scarf covering my nose and mouth, icy air around my glasses, fingers warmed by woven gloves.










I loved snow, the whiteness, being inside warm. I loved going on walks with my father. My brother and I would bundle up, pull on our rubber boots, buckle 'em up, and march out into a friendly blizzard, to trudge with our father blocks and blocks downtown. I was still able to feel it. Not just as memories, but even now as an adult. Yes.
