Quietly pirouetting in on
silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again."

to all my friends having snow right now, I hope you're able to enjoy the beauty despite the often extreme annoyance that comes along with it. (I know it's causing problems for a lot of people right now... sorry y'all! Hang in there!) We -never- get snow here and I never got snow growing up either, except when there was a hurricane... so it's magical to me. :)
ming85 posted this great photoshoot from the NYtimes. (click for more) Parts of it remind me so much of the onsen Mitch and I went to 2 years ago. Man... it was so awesome. The water so warm, but snow everywhere, even on our eyelashes!
here's one of the photos from the onsen we went to... I can't find a photo of the pools right now because we moved and my backup cds are in a pile somewhere, but the format of the pool was just like the one in that photoshoot above! The night we got to the onsen... there was no snow at all. We woke up the next morning and it looked like THIS:
