real life snow globe!

today i took the dog out a 6:15 and was disappointed to find that all the winter storm hype had come to naught, but then when i took him out again at 7:15 it was like the world had been turned into snow globe! the snow was falling steadily but softly, the ground was just dusted with white, and everything was calm and quiet. it was so beautiful, and really fun to be outside in it. maybe winter does actually have some upsides :)
