The snow has been falling, fluffy and deep, in my neighborhood. Having grown-up in Hawaii, I always thought that "the Mainland snow" was supposed to go-away at the end of Christmas. Shouldn't January—a new start, clean and fresh—"snap-back to normal"?
One trick I've learned is to shovel the sidewalks as soon as possible. Fluffy snow can be "scooped" quickly and easily. Once it has been tamped-down (by marching feet), it is much harder to shovel. Snow that melts, just a little, and re-freezes is a nightmare. And it gets worse when new snowfall piles upon that sheet of ice.
But snow can be so pretty. (At least initially.) As these French Modernist crystal paperweights are pretty. A delicate snowflake is "embossed" under the leaded glass domes. They are a lovely and functional accessory for the desk or as a sculpted object to catch the light on a coffee table. Click upon the photo above to learn more about them.
