10. Cute dogs playing in the snow. Oscar spazzes out whenever there’s snow!
9. Closely related to #10 – playing fetch with snowballs. Oscar gets very confused when he catches the snowballs.
8. The stillness and the way snow muffles sound. Walking through campus on my way to class this evening, I couldn’t hear anything except my own footsteps.
7. BOOTS! As if I need an excuse to wear boots…but seriously. Winter footwear is the comfiest, fluffiest, coziest, and all-around best.
6. The quiet happiness of drinking hot cocoa while watching the snow fall.
5. Donuts! Not the edible kind. The fun kind you do in your car in an empty parking lot when it snows. Hehehe.
4. Sweaters and coats and hats and gloves. Did I mention that winter clothing is the best?
3. Sledding. I haven’t been sledding for a while, but you need only watch this to be reminded of how great sledding really is. I rest my case.
2. Here in lovely Utah, we really need snow…because a snowy winter usually means a not-sucky summer.
1. It’s part of living with the gorgeousness of seasons! Snow makes everything more magical.

Love, peace, and snowy (but safe) pathways,
