Big Weather

We're about halfway through day 2 of a multi-day snowsquall event here. And while other Canadians might be wont to beat the crap outta me for saying this: I love a good snowsquall. It's amazing to sit and stare out the window and feel like you're in a swirling snow globe; to marvel at just how far you can't see for the life of you.

But the "sitting and staring out the window" part is key. Being nestled up all warm, cozy, and secure indoors while Big Weather blows in is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. But it makes me reflect on how fortunate I am not to be subject to the whims of the weather, and think about the folks for whom that's not true.

By the way, Með hækkandi sól, Iceland's entry in Eurovision 2022, is excellent mood music for looking out on a windblown wintry landscape.

Weather is much more enjoyable when you're not on our and truly to deal with the consequences of being in it. It can be beautiful.

I cannot begin to imagine how to coordinate the logistics of moving around in that weather. Hard agree on the stay cozy vibes.
