Nor’Easters, Blizzards, Snow Storms, etc.

Aside from the mass power outages, property damage, hazardous driving conditions and other catastrophes caused by dear Mother Nature’s wintry wrath, you have to admit that getting a megadump of snow is wicked satisfying.
Despite the fact that I’m not in school anymore, I can’t help but feel that familiar giddiness when I see weather reports predicting 8-12+ inches of snow in one fell swoop. It’s like getting a Tetris or winning big bucks on a scratch ticket. You see the snow cancellations scrolling across the bottom of the screen with the poor entry level reporter wannabes thrust out into the elements screeching over the whipping wind and snow in their face to tell us all at home how crazy it is out there.
The best part is when you don’t even know it’s coming, though. You go about your day, all is well, the sky starts to cloud up and you’re like “hm, the air feels kind of heavy today.” Wake up the next morning to a solid foot of winter wonderland. Score! It’s like the whole world is covered in fondant! How much more satisfying can it get, honestly?
First flurry of the season = satisfying.
Waking up to near zero visibility and inch upon inch of piling snow sticking to every branch, house and person in sight = wicked satisfying.
