So, it's snowing again in NYC. From where I sit, the falling snow seems to be coming from all directions. It's white and fluffy and get caught easily in the breeze.
As you might have heard (or experienced), our last snowstorm in New York was a bit of a nightmare if you intended to go anywhere besides your living room. I've seen many more plows on the road, and it seems like there are more active efforts at snow removal this time around. However, rather than getting mired in such assessments, see if you can experience the snow just as it is. Notice what judgments come to mind: Is it pretty? Problematic? Cold? And, if it's not snowing where you live, simply become aware of your thoughts regarding the weather today.
