I watch the snow falling, huge f lakes spinning and slanting down into the darkness, and think of it as a dance. In Seattle, snow is liberating. Life grinds to a halt. A city ill-equipped for such storms has no choice but to shut down its productivity, as if voters and taxpayers have conspired to leave Seattle without resources. We raise our snow-white flag of surrender. Why not? Snow days are wonderful fun.

Snow is also an important source of water for us; those mountain melts are crucial through the summer. Snow is also an important source of insulation, creating a protective layer between the cold winter air and hibernating animals and even plants. Snow forms a literal blanket. Like a wonderful throw blanket at the end of the bed to use while indulging in a power nap, this powdery snow fluffs itself over wildlife. It acts as a kind of throw for me too.
