Traditionally January days in Fort Wayne, Indiana are gray and blah, with lots of clouds, cold rain, sometimes sleet, but no snow. This year we do have snow, however, and some sunny snowy days. Very pretty. A local weather person said that we have had twice as much snow as we had last winter at this time. That's fine with me because, so far, this is being very well behaved snow, falling enough to cover the grass with two to three inches and additional one inch falls as needed to keep things looking fresh. But offering enough time between snowfalls to clear the roads easily. In case you're wondering, my west coast brother, who only has snow in the mountains, has informed me that today is "World Snow Day." In unanticipated celebration of this special day, I had the most beautiful drive to church this morning. It Was 9:30 in the morning, the sky was a light pearly blue gray, the ground was covered in white and it was snowing softly; just enough to make everything feel a little fuzzy around the edges. There were very few cars on the road and it was an enchanting drive. Everything blended together. When I got to church, I met out organist just walking in the door and blurted out "Wasn't that a lovely drive this morning?" He understood exactly what I meant and agreed completely. It was good to know that someone else had shared my blissful snowy drive.
