I love this post so much. Having grown up in Michigan, with big winters and just dealing with snow all the time, I miss the wonder of it. That magical moment when you can just enjoy it. This is the first winter in forever that I've not had to 'go to' work. I've grown to hate snow having to get up at 2 am to shovel and hope trucks were out to clear me a path to get to work by 5 am. But now I can finally enjoy it again and these pics have brought back those loving memories of snow as a child.
Oh and a frozen lake covered in snow! Are you kidding me!!??? Someone get my skates! ;)

I grew up in the desert of Arizona so snow was a rare sight. The lake can sometimes have the right conditions for smooth skating ice, but this year it has been rough, people flooded the football field to make an ice rink.
oh i love that! We had a basketball court at the playground in the center of the town I grew up in and the town would flood it. It was the place to be on the weekends! Alternatively, we would skate the ponds when I visited my grandparents. Either way, we wouldn't stop until our feet were frozen numb! ;)
I've always wanted to visit Arizona though, even though I tend not to like warmer climates as much. It looks beautiful and so interesting.
There were quite a few "snowbirds" from Michigan that would move to Arizona to retire or just have a home there during the winter. They left during the summer because it was way too hot. If you ever get a chance check out northern Arizona it is way nicer looking.
