So when I step outside, I am in a time out of time. I am transported NORTH, I am with my grandmother's grandmother's grandmother. There are forces flying about quite near the Earth that can only announce their presence by booming, "BE NOT AFRAID!" And, as if to make absolutely, doubly sure that I would PAY ATTENTION, the fox ran across the nighttime snow, the most lovely, terrifying, beautiful thing in the entire world of things more beautiful than they can possibly be.
I'm sure this storm is going to make my life difficult for days and days to come, but tonight it is simply, well, it is simply something that I've lived all my life to be ready to experience.

Wonderful. So glad you are experiencing it like this.
Say, that looks like snow we get in Michigan, Hecate...
It sure is pretty when it's pristine like that. Until you have to shovel it that is.

Keep safe, warm and cozy! Hoping all stays well for you! Could NOT believe the videos of the crowds in the stores around the East Coast!
