ah!
to be back in the north country!
favorite time of the year ... after a blizzard would shut down the city ... I'd jump into my Sorels, my Siberian Huskies and I would take off into the snow, wave at the Nordic skiers, frolic for a while, return to sit before the fireplace, sip the scotch or bourbon, dine on a hot, hearty soup or stew ... enjoy a book, music, or movie ...
