So, we finally got some decent snow in the north Georgia mountains. This is the most snow I've seen in a handful of years. In fact, I believe that the last time I saw it snow enough to stick at all, I was in Minnesota and North Dakota. That was a good bit more snow, but I will take this. I don't think we could handle that much snow here (although I do fondly remember the blizzard of '93 being similar to what I saw up north). I could go for a few more hours of snow, but it is coming to an end. We got about 2.5 inches here in Demorest, though I'd have loved to have seen about 4 to 6 inches. I guess that comes with the joys of being unemployed!
It gave me a good excuse to get out of the apartment and walk around a little bit. So, I bundled up to brave the winter storm, and set out on my trek around the block. The highlight of my trek was probably Demorest Park. It was beautiful. There was snow on the gazebo, and a blanket of white all across the grass, with the pathways being the last to get covered up. The blue sky turned to a silver-grey, illuminating the city in a silvery glow. And with the wind having died down from the previous few days, the cold air was actually very refreshing to walk about in.
It was nice not having to drive anywhere. I would be hard-pressed to find anything more stressful and mood dampening than having to drive in the snow. It's doable, but it requires too much concentration and care. I would rather walk around and enjoy the beauty of it all. And I did. And if any of you were a part of the snow storm, I hope you did, too!
