This is why I love and appreciate the snow.. honestly I paitently or at least try to be patient waiting for snow every year and these are my reason why....
- I love the swirls the snowflakes makes as a blizzard is full force - I stand arms open wide and spin ( this is blissful for me!) - the snowdance is what I call it, and it has included friends over the years - but none better then a beautiful polish woman named Urszula -- years ago we dance in a blizzard in the backyard of the group home we worked at!
- Snow Angels - a mommy thing for me, as a kid my mom would say make an snow Angel and these days she does it with my neice and daughter.
Winter picnics - picnics on snow covered tables - watching a hot mug of hot chocolate or coffee melt a ring down to the wood.- The crunch of snow under my feet as I make a fresh step on new fallen snow
- Making "paw" prints with my hands
- watching the kids slide down the hill at broadview with the city lights twinkling behind them ( as always best view of Toronto)
- hearing the grumbling passerbys complain about the weather, knowing in a few short months it will be too hot for them again ( such a Canadian thing to do - Weather Complaining!)
- a new favourite is wearing my warm and cozy Canadian Red Mittens - these not only keep me warm but support our Athletes - love this years design!
- Watching the skaters at Nathan Phillips Square ( including my little girl) and seeing the snow cover the big pines in the Square ( absent now for redesign)
So as the temperature drops, and this horrible rain turns to snow.. you will find me with Tims in hand crunching it in my boots, holding the hands of my hubby and daughter as we go out to play!
no one is watching, go make a snow angel this year - even send me a picture , I will post it here!

I grew up in England and my instinct when it snows or gets really cold is to stay in and hibernate with my hot chocolate. But my neighbours always come with the tractor and make us a huge sled hill right in our front yard, because that's just what they've always done in winter. Canadians are so great at making the best of whatever weather they get!
