First Snow

First snowfall of the year. There's always something magical and wonderous about it. I love when the snow falls softly to the ground in the middle of the night. There is a silence and stillness that overcomes you when you walk through it. Time is at a standstill. The cold isn't even that unbearable- just being outside and feeling the quiet surround you (even when you are with others) is enough. At least that's how I feel.
