It's morning on Long Island. The snow is falling, the wind is blowing and a blanket of snow engulfs the landscape. It's deep enough to smooth out the contours of the land around me.
I know that some of you will look and only see the work it will cause. To me, it's an unparalleled beauty that provides a sense of calmness and reflection.
There is nothing like listening to snow fall (without the wind) and marvel in the quietness it brings.
