I open the door of my home and the cold air stings my face much like I image aftershave lotion must feel of a man. It stings, but in a good way; fresh and clean. I inhale-wanting to take in the smell the air gets when the ions are doing double time- and my nostril hairs freeze at attention. I step forward into the deep, soft snow and hear the sound of a muffled packing of frozen wetness. All the sounds are muffled, yet somehow amplified by parenthyses. The snowflakes continue to fall. They fall hard but slow, despite the weight. I look at the cloud they fall from and think how the snowflake seems like a frozen flake of a billowy cloud. It's cold, and the snow that falls on my upturned face freezed on my eyelashes--until I blink--and now the warmth of my cheeks melts the snowflake and it's melted liquid runs to my mouth. It tastes sweet and salty. I grab a handful of white clay and mold it into a ball and throw it to my pup. She catches it and it falls apart in her mouth. Confused by its disapearence, she burries her nose deep in search for the missing ball. We play until our hands and feet are to cold to continue. We warm up inside, my skin now feeling tingly and chapped. I gather the electric blanket and set it on "high" and my pup crawls on top of me and we fall asleep in each others warmth.
Hope you get to see and feel snow soon. You'll love it.
