Growing up in the Washington, DC area, the holidays were always a time of anticipation – not just of gifts, and gatherings of family and friends, but of weather – in particular, snow. Will it snow? What’s the chance for snow? These were often the questions that filled our minds. We became experts at tracking the barometric pressure. If it was dropping and it was cold enough, there was a distinct possibly for that glorious white stuff. Oh boy, we could hardly contain ourselves.
And when it did happen, that perfect convergence of dropping pressure, cold weather, and moisture coming in from God knows where, snow would fall. We’d dash outside covered in coats, gloves, hats and scarves ready to do battle, or build snowmen, or reach hair-raising speeds on our Flexible Flyers.
Those were the little moments that formed wonderful, lifelong memories. And these little moments are happening all around us today. Enjoy these moments now and into the New Year. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Best Wishes,
Larry
