Every day contains
rituals, habits and customs that become so commonplace
that one often forgets the thousands of other options.
However, when you wake up to the surprise of ankle deep
snow, ice-covered asphalt and frozen windshield wipers,
the senses are heightened and all those daily routines
take on an entirely new meaning. The thoughts of untracked
powder and wintery mountain vistas bounce though your
subconscious as your weave your way through traffic
and accelerate around snowplows toward your income-making
daily grind. During your trip through town, your eyes
are bombarded with images of icicles, snow shovels and
pools of melting snow lining the sidewalks. By the time
you've settled into your office chair, the warm sensation
of caffeine from your morning coffee has taken hold,
and the snow outside seems all too enticing to spend
your day indoors.
